The Devil’s Triangle

The Devil’s Triangle When a twin-engine Beechcraft crashes into one of Richmond’s watering holes and turns happy hour into Hell, theories run ram pant. Was it terrorists who, for some reason, decided to vent their spleens on unsuspecting Richmond? Was it a statement by homegrown killers less-than-thrilled that the city still, in the twenty-first century, chooses to honor Confederate leaders on its most prominent avenue? The obvious answers though, just don’t pan out. All the shoot from-the-hip purveyors of vigilante justice have to stand down when it becomes clear that the pilot of the suicide plane was a disaffected former Richmonder, David Biggio, with no known links to any terrorist organizations foreign or domestic. For Willie Black, the daily news paper’s hard-charging, hard-drinking night cops reporter, the question still remains: Why? To complicate matters, one of the victims of the kamikaze crash was the present husband of Willie’s third ex-wife, Kate.
