When FBI Agent Vinny Smalldeano and his wife Tina witness a waitress explode in front of them somewhere between the appetizer and the main course, a gruesome new "special circumstances" killer is born. Soon more exploded bodies turn up a corpulent academic, a spaced-out pizza delivery boy, and a veteran FBI agent -- and Vinny or his wife Tina are present at each horrific scene. Who could be behind these vicious, high-tech murders, and more importantly, just what is the killer s motive? Edge-of-the-armchair writing and storytelling by a new genius in the genre.
