The trail of the chop-chop lady of Makati : a novel / by Wilfredo Garrido.

A murderer is on the loose in the financial district of Manila. His grisly practice of chopping his victims into pieces and sending tantalizing clues of his identity by means of a jigsaw puzzle sows panic among its residents of millionaires and squatters alike. Helped by a doctor and a computer genius named Carlos, police Inspector Jaime Pogo pieces together the jigsaw puzzle and tracks down the mysterious culprit in a hunt that leads him through a world of shady businessmen, exploited women, and policemen fighting the twin evils of crime and poverty. The author weaves his story of suspense with droll wit and humor, painting a surreal picture of the dark side of the Makati business center, behind the facade of gleaming office towers and symbols of prosperity.
