WORDS ON A WIRE: F.H. Batacan

  It is a common belief that there are no serial killers in the Philippines, but writer F.H. Batacan used her experience as an employee in the Philippine intelligence community to destroy that myth with her novel SMALLER AND SMALLER CIRCLES.  The book follows two Jesuit priests who track down a killer who is preying on the impoverished residents of a 50-acre landfill.  She talks with Daniel Chacon about her novel and the inspiration behind it.
