Cross Fire
“Rebecca said she and Downey had been in the room for only a short time. That meant the snipers were set up and ready for them. The killers knew exactly when and where they needed to be, just like they knew when Vinton and Pilkey would be outside the restaurant, and just like they knew Mel Dlouhy’s neighbors were out of town when they came by to murder him.
Whoever was behind this had a firm handle on the victims’ habits, the movements of the people around them, and even the most private details... of their otherwise public lives. It struck me that this kind of intelligence gathering took time, manpower, and know-how, and quite possibly money.
I thought about what Siegel had said to me on the roof of the Moore Building tonight. These guys are guns for hire. I hadn’t ruled it out then, and I was a step closer to ruling it in now. I just didn’t like thinking that Siegel had beaten me to it. Usually I’m not like that, but he just rubbed me the wrong way.
There was obviously some kind of specific and disciplined agenda behind these killings.MoreLess

That Mama Nana crap is just that-juvenile garbage- and with Alex and his girl friend banging away all the time the church scene was just TOO MUCH - and it seems that hardened 10-15 year veterans of the most horrific crime scenes hug, cry kiss and smooch all over each other every chance they get.The plots are good-exciting- but the continuity-and constant introduction of new characters with each new "chapter" reminds me of an Edgar Rice Burroughs story-where he always used that hoary old literary trick-like the old serial "The Perils of Pauline"--- !!
