Not Since the Boston Strangler has the town been this on edge A psychopathic assassin is on the loose. Ex-cop John Justice O'Brien and his side kick, newspaperman Bob Crabbe, are on the case, and so is every cop from the Cape to New Hampshire. Six policemen have been viciously killed in the last year by someone who calls himself "A Patriot" and who delights in taunting the police every chance he gets. Not since the Boston Strangler appeared on the scene some sixty years ago has Boston been this on edge. No one has a clue who this guy is, and he doesn't let anyone catch their breath before he pops another one more gruesomely than the last. The cops are going nuts. The public is clamoring for a solution, and law enforcement is no closer to solving this case than they were 12 months ago. Add to that flammable mixture President Ethel Witt Jones, the first President in a long time to actually start re-uniting long divided factions in the United States and who won't take "no" for an answer is bound and determined to keep her speaking engagement at Harvard, and the scene is set for a gut wrenching show down in Bean town. It's 2018 and nothing from the North shore to Southie will ever be the same again. Can the Secret Service, the F.B.I., the State Police of the Commonwealth and every beat cop in the area takeout this madman before he commits the crime of the century? Don't bet on it. Nothing has worked so far, and the clock is ticking. For riviting action, more twists and turns, more ups and downs than a wild ride on the world's scariest roller coster, read on.
