From Britain's foremost Criminal Psychologist and author of 'The Jigsaw Man'.
Forensic psychologist, Paul Britton, can walk through the minds of those who murder, rape, torture, extort and kidnap. He can see the world through their eyes and know what they're thinking. That is why the police have called on him to help with many high-profile criminal investigations and catch those responsible.
How does he do it? This is a remarkable journey into the darkest recesses of the human mind. From top-security prisons and mental hospitals to ordinary outpatients' clinics, Britton introduces us to his clinical and forensic work. When Britton so accurately profiled the child killers of Jamie Bulger in Liverpool, or told police the true nature of Frederick and Rosemary West, he could do so because he had treated disturbed children and confronted sadistic sexual murderers in his consulting room.
For twenty years Britton has assessed and treated people with damaged or broken minds. Some were responsible for terrible crimes, others were thankfully stopped. Instead of being hidden at bloody crime scenes or in post-mortem photographs, the answers are often hidden away in someone's mind or deep in their past. He reveals the process of unlocking and deciphering the truth.
A unique and revealing book that provides important insight into the complex organism we call the human mind.
