520			_aA 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.
