The Hand

Game One of the World Series is interrupted by blood dripping onto the pitcher as he stands on the mound of the domed stadium. It is the first of a series of murders the detective and his team work tirelessly to solve. They soon realize they are dealing with a serial killer -- a highly intelligent, sophisticated, and motivated individual that has begun his murder spree with conviction. Short of his own demise, the killer will continue to take more lives ad infinitum.

The key to finding their serial killer will be through somehow gaining his trust and infiltrating his mind while luring the killer to reveal the root cause of his motivation. The motivation that will lead them to why he is picking his victims, who they are, and more importantly who he will pick next.

As the relationship between the killer and the detective develops, the dichotomy between the two regarding their beliefs, faith, religion, spirituality and the question of a God, becomes a compelling storyline. This fictional novel, which is based on true events, will keep you spellbound as the fascination of these characters are born and we are taken through the most gripping of stories as the inspiration for the murder spree is exposed.
