In this story, a killer stalked the streets of Manhattan and mercilessly strangled women. Randomly selecting his targets, he placed a ribbon around the victim’s neck, post-mortem, and tied a bow centered to their faces. The media created a city-wide buzz called the Red Ribbon Murders. The police were frustrated by the random selection of the killer’s targets and the absence of any clues. A brilliant retired Israeli spy, David Korman, an attractive man who drank too much and loved the company of women, undertook the deadliest assignment of his career when he agreed to find and capture the killer. He uncovered suspects and thrilling chases exposed bizarre hidden crimes and agonizing dysfunctional secrets from their past. In the course of the chases, David uncovered an illegal drug operation and is nearly killed after locating its source. When a woman who has developed a miracle drug that claims to regenerate brain cells in stroke patients appeared, it seemed to be a financial windfall for the Wall Street firm representing her. That is, until one of the women employed at the financial firm is killed and another, a key employee of the drug firm, was murdered. David learned that the results of the drug research were manipulated, and he exposed a billion-dollar fraud perpetrated by the owner of the drug firm. This dark, sharp story of murder and intrigue, reminiscent of detective stories of the sixties, takes many turns until the killer is identified in a surprising twist.
