About the book

World-renowned criminologist Professor Nicolo Benedetti is called to the small, unassuming town of Sparta, New York, to solve a series of brutal murders. The only lead is a succession of notes delivered to the local newspaper, taunting the police, and enigmatically signed "HOG." Originally published in 1979, The HOG Murders received an Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America.
