David Baldacci has taken a new approach to murder in HOUR GAME. The killer he has created is no run-of-the-mill killer. Quite the contrary. This killer shows an astounding cleverness, exhibiting an ego that mocks the police by making sure the clues he leaves are obvious and in plain sight, while at the same time ensuring that he "plays" by the rules --- warped rules, admittedly, but rules nonetheless.
The small Virginia town of Wrightsburg sees very few murders, and most of those are domestic disputes. So when a body shows up in the woods, the local lawmen get very nervous. Evidence points to foul play immediately, no question. The positioning of the corpse and some gruesome trademarks well known as the MO of a long-ago serial killer leave no doubt about that. Has the Zodiac started up again? Authorities don't think so, since his age would render him incapable of the physical strength required to snuff the life out of the young woman, not to mention muscle the body deep into the woods. A copycat maybe? An equally chilling thought, but it, too, soon proves to be a dead end. Maybe a pair working in tandem?
