And the murderer had. There was a corpse or two to prove it. But when a bullet, fired by a hand in the crowd, had met its mark, Detective O'Neill was certain this was no "ordinary" madness.

It was madness and murder gone wild — with the next victim already marked for death. But who? And when? And how?
