PART I: In 1956, a sinister figure known as the 'Mad Bomber' has been terrorizing New York City for 16 long years, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. His bombs have detonated in telephone booths, restrooms, Grand Central Terminal, and other iconic landmarks across the Big Apple. While many have suffered injuries, fortunately, no one has died—yet. In a desperate attempt to reveal the identity of this elusive criminal, the NYPD bomb squad is utilizing a forensic crime lab, the first of its kind used for crime-fighting. As chilling letters from the 'Mad Bomber' continue to pour in, newspapers compete to cover the most compelling stories, amplifying the public's rising fear and anxiety. The question lingers: where will he strike next? And who is the enigmatic 'F.P.'?
