Amos Berry

By all American standards, Amos Berry was a fortunate man. He was an executive in a small manufacturing company and had attended college. His family was one of the oldest in town. He lived in a handsome new house with his good-looking wife and fine son and went regularly to the best country club. His son's lack of interest in becoming a businessman was perhaps his only worry. What drove him, then to a cold-blooded, carefully concealed act of violence? What was it in his life or the life around him, that compelled him to retreat from the twentieth century?
