The Chosen Child by Graham Masterton
In post-communist Warsaw, the authorities will do anything to keep Western developers happy. When a hotel construction site is plagued by a series of gory murders, local businessmen and police are eager to solve the case. But their quick fixes don't satisfy Sarah Leonard, the high-powered woman executive who is in charge of the project, especially once she discovers an old underground tunnel on the hotel's property -- and hears a child weeping in the tunnel.Sarah and police detectives Stefan Rej search for the child through an underground maze that served the Polish Resistance under the Nazis and during the Cold War. Is the child held captive by the serial killer the press is now calling the Executioner? And what is the Executioner -- the result of a Nazi breeding experiment gone wrong, or the embodiment of an urban legend that dates back more than a hundred years?
