Peter Benner was born in Austria. He was only thirteen when he was exposed to the cruelties of his mother and the merciless elements of the Second World War. At fourteen, Peter went to gunsmith school and at eighteen he graduated as master gunsmith. On the one hand, he made high-quality rifles and on the other hand his deceased father, Josef Benner, left him with a legacy of assassinations, which Peter pursued during the post-war period.

He turned into a cold-blooded murderer. He did away with a politician, a professor and a drug dealer.

Peter Benner had a wearisome childhood. His father was a strict disciplinarian. He was an introverted person and seldom spoke to his son. His mother was traveling most of the time to different countries in Europe. Now that his mother is alone, she had difficulty supporting herself and her son. That was on her mind the day before, when Peter jumped into the pile of fall leaves, which his mother assiduously raked together. She wasn=t in the mood for horseplay on this day and she was unable to control her emotions ....
