Investigation turns up a handful of incomprehensible and seemingly unconnected clues, and motive remains obscure. The suspects act like suspects—slightly hostile, avoiding questions. Frustration sets in for the pair of sleuths—especially Vik, who knew the victim from his high school days. The case becomes more urgents as there are more fires, more bombs, and more victims. The killer appears to be out of control!
