Summary

The wife of high-powered influential Harry Piper was kidnapped. A random note was left - “We want $1 million dollars to be paid in 50,000 unmarked $20 bills.” The family paid it. It would be two full days till Virginia was found chained up to a tree. Alive. She never saw the kidnapper’s face. After three long years, the police presented her with a few audio clips. She perked up. “That’s him! My kidnapper! I’m sure of it! I remember his voice.” If this were true Virginia was lucky to be alive. She was listening to the voice of the Hammer Man- who smashed women to death with his bare hands.
