Praise for the Serial Murder Thriller, The Hyte Maneuver
ALA Booklist "...This excellent thriller is enhanced 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, American Library Association
KIRKUS REVIEW "...Half Thriller, Half whodunit, not half bad... Nicely handled stereotypes, from people to places to emotions.... Biggest asset is Hyte, who wears well enough to become a series hero."
—This Set in the late 1980's, just before the first attack on the World Trade Center, a terrorist hijacking opens the door to something that should never happen. Shortly after the passengers of flight.... are saved, and the hijackers killed, a series of bizarre murders begin.
— A Serial Killer, using New York's 5 Burroughs as its hunting ground, is murdering the survivors of the airplane hijacking. The NYPD policemen are trying to connect the dots before time runs out. Is it more Terrorism, is it someone from the Airplane Hijacking, or is it a Random psychopathic killer fixated on the survivors? But most of all, Why is it happening?
-- The serial killer, working with brilliance and the utmost ruthlessness, leaves a trail of dead passengers. All too soon it becomes apparent that no one will be spared-unless the killer turns out to be one of the passengers.
-- The job of catching the killer is given to Lieutenant Ray Hyte, the same man who negotiated the hostages' release, and as Hyte looks for 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 spins this into a high-pitched page-turning and enthralling thriller as it reaches a climax as unexpected as it is fair.
