A serial killer takes children whom he interprets as being mistreated by their parents and "saves" them by killing them.

The letters are carved into the foreheads of dead bodies found on the streets of the fashionable Upper East Side of Manhattan. The police are baffled--until detective Paul Regal receives a phone call from the killer. The bodies represent chessmen; their locations are moves on a chessboard whose squares are city blocks. The challenge: figure out the chess killer's next move, and stop him. Luckily, New York City has a resident chess champion, the legendary Billy Abbott--unless Abbott himself "is" the chess killer.
