The Hyte Maneuver: A Serial Murder Police Procedural
About this ebook
A Serial Killer using New York's 5 Burroughs as its hunting ground, is murdering the survivors of an Airline Hijacking. The Cops are trying to connect the dots before time runs out. Is it Terrorism, is it someone from the Airplane Hijacking, is it Random? But most of all, Why?
-- When the Trans Air Flight from Tangier to New York is Hijacked, The first class passengers are now hostages and find themselves in deadly peril, for when the plane lands in New York, the coach passengers are released and the first class passengers must face the hatred and fanaticism of the terrorists.
-- When Rescue comes, engineered by hostage negotiator Ray Hyte, the passengers are freed -- except for those murdered by the terrorists -- the hijackers killed and the trauma is over.... Or is it?
-- Soon after the rescue, a serial killer working with brilliance and the utmost ruthlessness, begins murdering the surviving passengers. It soon becomes apparent that no one will be spared-unless the killer turns out to be one of the passengers.
-- It becomes Raymond Hyte's task to catch the killer, the urgency intensifies when he falls in love with the daughter of one of the victims. The battle between the ingenious murderer and the master policeman makes up the core of this enthralling thriller, while its climax is as unexpected as it is fair
"David Wind has written an engrossing story with tremendous pace and authenticity of detail. It is a book to be savored, although perhaps not on a plane from Tangier...."
ALA Booklist (American Library Association) "...This excellent thriller is enhanced by by the careful detail with which police investigatory procedures are described, by the presence of a sharp protagonist in Hyte, and by more than a few clever plot twists...."--WL
"WARNING: David Wind has written an engrossing story with tremendous pace and authenticity of detail. It is a book to be savored, although perhaps not on a plane from Tangier...." J.R. Manber, Diamond Rev
