Book excerpt: Peter Manuel killed repeatedly, both random and targeted victims, including men, women, and children, because he enjoyed the rush. His cockiness had no end, and he went as far as giving a police inspector a ride while the inspector was searching for one of the teenage girls Peter had murdered. Peter toyed with the detective and advised him he thought the police were looking in the wrong spot for the girl. Ultimately, Peter's arrogance and insatiable need for attention led to his demise ... one that made him meet his own executioner as he hung from a noose on prison gallows.
