Hidden Demons

A New England community is rocked by a serial killer, a mass shooter, and a sexual predatorall in a single dayin this true crime chronicle.

On January 7, 1994, residents of Berkshire Hills woke up to a typical winter day in the majestic woods of Western Massachusetts. But as that fateful day unfolded, three separate crimeseach unsettling in its own waywould converge in this quaint corner of New England.

That day, a trial began for college student, Wayne Lo, who celebrated his 18th birthday by purchasing an assault rifle and opening fire on campuskilling two and wounding four others. Elsewhere, two young girls were accosted in the changing room at the local pool. And another young girlnarrowly escaped being abducted at gunpoint on her way to school. Her quick thinking later resulted in profound repercussions regarding another casethat of a young boy who vanished from a strip mall.

Though these events appeared unrelated, it seemed as though the world had suddenly gone mad. In Hidden Demons, Margery B. Metzger details these events and reveals a savage serial killer, Lewis Lent, Jr., who lurked in the shadows. It was the bravery of a father and daughter, and the remarkable work of law enforcement officers, that would see justice done.
