The Trash Collector Chester Edward Bennett

Reginald Santana thought he had paid his debt to society when he was released from prison and found work shaping surfboards in San Luis Obispo California. Someone disagreed and left Reginald's body lying on his living room floor. He had been brutally murdered in a most creative way. The only apparent clue was a uniquely coded handwritten poem signed: "The Trash Collector." The case goes unsolved and nothing more is heard from The Trash Collector until years later when Joshua Ward escapes prosecution on an open-and-shut child abduction and murder case in Orange County, California. Within days after Ward's release his mangled body is found near the state beach in San Clemente, California. A coded poem turns up at a local newspaper and leaves no doubt The Trash Collector is back. More bodies of sadistically murdered bad people--people who deserved to die-- start turning up. With each body comes another poem and each is addressed to Trevor Wilkins, the investigating officer. What secret is Trevor Wilkins hiding about his investigation into The Trash Collector murders? Is he really a top notch sheriff's investigator, or is he something else? Could he be The Trash Collector?Read The Trash Collector's entertaining first person account of the murders through the eyes of a psychopathic killer who really enjoys the work. The Trash Collector will leave you questioning who's side you are on: the psychopath who is killing people who need killing, or the Sheriff's Investigators who's duty it is to put a stop to it.
