Bestselling author Christopher Berry-Dee returns with a companion
volume that delves even deeper into the evil world of psychopaths
and their hideous crimes. In Talking with Psychopaths: Beyond Evil,
criminologist Berry-Dee combines sections on killers whom he has
known, interviewed, or corresponded with, with studies of
psychopathic serial killers from the past, including Peter Kurten,
the Dusseldorf Monster; John Christie, a murderer and necrophile;
and Neville Heath, a ladykiller in every sense of the word. The
result is a chilling narrative that sets the forensic examination
of killers and their crimes within the context of murder in the
20th and 21st centuries, and the insoluble problem of identifying
these psychopaths. This is not a book for the squeamish but is
undeniably fascinating in its portrayal of just what one human
being will do to another--while all too often moving among us
unnoticed and unhindered. If their crimes seem as incomprehensible
as they are horrific, it is undeniably true that the world's most
wicked killers may be much closer than we think.
