I started this book but wasn't really enjoying it, so I am going to release it without finishing it.

Surprisingly sophisticated for a media tie in. The character voices are pretty much spot on, as well. (

Second of the same.

The next X-Files tie-in is basically the same as the first, in terms of quality, that is, not very good.

Also another strange series of killing to investigate for the FBI duo, only with some boring even for Mulder odd occurrences along the way. These were definitely disappointing.

Epigraph

Dedication

This is for Kathryn Ptacek.

For lots of reasons, but in particular, this time because I've mangled her New Mexico homeland before, and she still hasn't shot me.

First words

The sun was white and hot, and the wind blew ceaselessly.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0061054151, Mass Market Paperback)

Serial killers come in all shapes and sizes, but this one is particularly puzzling.There's no pattern to the mutilated bodies that have been showing up in Albuquerque: both sexes, all races, ages, ethnic groups. There is no evidence of rape or ritual. Only one thing connects the victims. They were the victims of a natural disaster. One of the most unnatural natural disasters imaginable, leading to a most painful, most certain and most hideous death....

Mulder and Scully, FBI: the agency maverick and the female agent assigned to keep him in line. Their job: investigate the eerie unsolved mysteries the Bureau wants handled quietly, but quickly, before the public finds out what's really out there. And panics. The cases filed under "X."
