Trouble is her jewels are missing, and her boyfriends keep turning up dead.

Lockwood grabbed at Amanda and they hit the ground. Then, he crawled over to Sykes.
Sykes was very dead. Blood oozed out of a bullet wound in his left temple that left his brains exposed. His eyes stared blankly into the beyond.
Lockwood began to think that maybe Lorenzo Jones had been murdered after all. The rifle cracked again. Shards of glass flew like schrapnel. Lockwood decided this was no time to theorize about somebody else’s untimely death. For the moment, he had one driving, overwhelming need: to get out of this goddamn stadium alive!
