Amok

From the book:

"He was a huge, violent, blood-crazed monster who lived to kill. They called him the Amok. He had murdered more than a hundred people since the end of World War II. And always he eluded capture, leaving behind a wake of death and terror. Suddenly one man, triggered by a passion for vengeance, challenged the Amok. And so began one of the most savage, chilling manhunts of all time."
