Criminologist Christopher Berry-Dee takes readers deep inside the dark
minds of some of the most pitiless and dangerous people alive. Having
spent years interviewing imprisoned criminals, including notorious
serial killers, he discovered that the lack of remorse they showed was
in many ways more terrifying than the crimes they had committed. Yet in
the course of these conversations, the author also had the chance to
interview his subjects' psychiatrists and, in doing so, uncovered a
terrible truth: a monster can be hidden behind a friendly face. Some of
these experts, he found, proved to have more in common with their
patients than he would ever have expected. This book examines horrific
crimes committed by some of the most remorseless and merciless people
ever to have lived. If it reveals a mindset wholly alien to most people,
it also, shockingly, demonstrates that some of the people who treat
these psychopaths have their own demons. Talking with Psychopaths will
inevitably shift the reader's view of psychopaths, and in doing so,
reveals that horror can be much closer to us than we think. Subjects
include JR Robinson, Kenneth Allen McDuff, Arthur Shawcross, Kenneth
Bianchi, Michael Bruce Ross, Melanie McGuire, and more.
