      About This Book

      THIS MASTERPIECE OF MURDER brings violent death to a woman who in life never harmed anyone. She didn't even have time to yell before the heavy golf club shattered her skull.

      All the evidence pointed in one direction--unpremeditated violence. Even a child could follow the signs.

      But it was too neat. Superintendent Battle knew something about murder and murderers, and in this case he saw the hand of a true master.

      "Murder," said the Superintendent, "is the culmination of a lot of different circumstances, all converging at a given moment at a given point. The murder itself is the end of the story. It's Zero Hour.

      "In this case," he continued, "I believe this murder is only the beginning. We are still headed Towards Zero."
