He even gives it its own architecture - the bedroom, the boardroom, the bar or the basement - depending on the motivations of the killer. For Hicks, however horrific the act is, the reasons for one human being to kill another are ultimately all too explicable. So when thirty-two year old Vicki Gi... more »bson is found bludgeoned to death, Hicks suspects a 'bedroom' murder, and attention focuses on her possessive ex-husband.
