The final novels of the Hot Dog Detective series! The intruder grunted in surprise as he missed his target. Despite the lack of light, he had an advantage over his intended victim. His vision had adapted to the dark room, whereas his victim was just waking up from sleep. But when his victim leaped across the bed to land on top of him, he began to suspect that his advantage was fleeting. The two men landed on the foot end of the other bed, waking up the woman and child. As the two occupants of the bed began to cry out in surprise and pain, the two men rolled off of the bed and onto the floor. The two men struggled until the intruder was finally able to jab his weapon into the other man's chest. The man cried out, as the intruder pulled the knife out and repeatedly slashed at his victim. The woman continued screaming as the intruder leaped to his feet and raced for the door. He ran into the darkened hallway as guests from other rooms began to open the doors to their room to cautiously find out what the screaming was all about. The intruder ran to an emergency exit, just as the woman cried out, "Someone's killed my husband! Someone's killed my husband!" The intruder disappeared into the night.
