The Chessman by Jeffrey B. Burton (MacAdam/Cage, $25; ISBN 978-1-59692-370-6).
Burton’s outstanding serial killer thriller, which opens with the murder of the new SEC commissioner in Washington, D.C., offers plot convolutions that are both mind-boggling and well-conceived. Even seasoned practitioners of this subgenre will be impressed.
