SYNOPSIS:
THERE WERE SEVEN SUSPECTS
Kenneth Meer wasn't one of them. Yet a week after the explosion, he was in the psychiatric ward suffering from something the doctors called "The Lady Macbeth Syndrome"— invisible blood on the hands. There were various possibilities:

  • He had planted the bomb himself and the burden of guilt was too great for him.  
  • Or: he hadn't but knew who had.
  • Or: the event itself was too heavy - - the havoc, the shrapnel-shattered flesh, the blood on the walls . . .

All valid guesses, but just guesses. Meanwhile, a man who had killed for no reason was wandering around with a bomb in a briefcase.

This time he had all the reason in the world to kill . . . and kill again! (from nerowolfe.com, website of The Wolfe Pack)
