In what section does the author change the narrative's point of view in the novel, Meeting Evil?

For much of the narrative, the author restricts the narrative point of view to that of the innocent John; but for one crucial sequence, his readers are given the opportunity to see events from Richie's point of view. This sequence may increase sympathy for Richie, but it also tends to shield the reader from graphic descriptions of the horror of Richie's actions. Richie's callous murder of a stranger at the motel, for instance, is a grisly action; but Richie pays little attention to the resultant gore, and thus the reader is spared a vivid description of the act.
