Playing dead - Richard Belsky

A notorious serial killer dying from cancer in a prison infirmary makes a shocking deathbed confession: he didn't act alone. A secret group of other young thrill killers from well-to-do backgrounds helped him carry out a series of brutal murders. The killer produces a comprehensive list of the group's victims - and some of the deaths haven't even happened yet. Newspaper reporter Joe Dougherty has more reason than most to track down the group of so-called 'Great Pretenders': his own dead wife and son are among the victims listed.
