The 10th Victim
The 21st Century is a world without war. But not without killing. The Big Hunt, "a safety valve for humanity's latent aggressive instincts," pits licensed international citizens of the future against each other in a vicious but legal duel of death. At a Pop Art exhibit in New York, beautiful "victim" Catherine Meredith guns down her Oriental opponent with a metal, rapid-fire brassiere. At a Grand Prix House Show in Rome, "hunter" Marcello Polletti blasts his "victim" with dynamite-spiked spurs. Now the lots are drawn again, and it's Ursula vs. Marcello. For one, the fame and money of ten kills... for the other, a surprise ending. Which will be The 10th Victim?
