Cynthia Herbert-Bruschi Adams Book Signing, Tues. Feb. 25 at 3:30 p.m. at UConn B&N, 1 Royce Cir., Downtown Storrs.
Author Cynthia Herbert-Bruschi Adams shares the gripping description of murder and other crimes committed by an honors student, Peter Manfredonia, who spent Memorial Day Weekend, 2020 in a frenzy. This claimed the life of Willington man, Ted DeMers (model for Connecticut’s minuteman statue); severely injured his neighbor, and led to a third Willington man being held hostage in his own home. But two days later the terror continues as Manfredonia robs and murders a childhood friend in Derby and kidnaps his girlfriend. The nightmare goes further as he is pursued across state lines for six days. The author interviews survivors and the perpetrator. The story is told with vivid, at times horrifying, descriptions.
Cynthia Herbert-Bruschi Adams, Ph.D., is a professor emerita from the University of Connecticut and a psychologist. She began writing by publishing academic works. This is her sixth commercial book. She lives near the location of this first murder and interviewed many of those directly involved including the murderer.
