Unlucky For Some
The business enterprises of a well-connected casino owner are under siege by a serial killer in this British police procedural, the 13th in the Hill and Lloyd series. The motive for the bludgeoning death of a winner at Michael Waterman's Bull's Eye bingo club was clearly not theft--the murderer left the victim's money neatly arranged on top of the body. The killer follows this up with taunting letters to a spotlight-grabbing journalist concerning his intention to carry out similar crimes in the future--and then proceeds to deliver on his threats. Can husband-and-wife DCIs Hill and Lloyd stop this murderous spree before it claims more victims?
