Velocity is an
astonishing, fast-moving story of an innocent man forced by a serial killer to
choose who will be murdered next.
On the widescreen
of his SUV, Billy finds the first note:
‘If you don’t
take this note to the police and get them involved, I will kill a lovely blonde
schoolteacher somewhere in Napa County. If you do take this note to the police,
I will instead kill an elderly woman active in charity work. You have six hours
to decide. The choice is yours.’
Billy thinks the
note is a hoax. The schoolteacher dies.
More
communications from the killer follow, more hideous choices, with ever tighter
decision times, and with each choice Billy is drawn deeper into an accelerating
nightmare, which steadily becomes more personal, more confrontational, until he
is isolated, with no one to turn to and no one to rely on but himself. Finally
he must risk everything to save the intended victims...
