Description: "Nietzsche strikes again, this time through the manic personality of a New York "superman' who hopes that the terror resulting from his killing of women will enable him to seize political power. A policeman himself, 'the Butcher' gets away with a number of grisly murders until he comes up against Harris, an ex-mountaineer whose fall from Everest has rendered him psychic and who actually 'sees' one of the murders during a TV talk show. 'In a prolonged and cleverly managed climax, the Butcher traps Harris and his girl friend, at night, in a Lexington Avenue office building, having shot the guards and short-circuited the elevators. A cat-and- mouse game played up and down the in- side of the building is continued outside it as Harris, with a game leg and terrified of heights, and his girl friend, with no climbing experience, try to descend the building mountaineer-style from the fortieth floor. There's a blizzard blowing, to boot. Exciting stuff. Mystery Guild selection; Double- day Book Club alternate.' This is a gripping novel about two people terrorized into immobility and then driven beyond their endurance to the brink of death. It is the story of a man and a woman whose love for each other sustains them through the eight most grueling hours of their lives."
