THE SENSATIONAL NEW BOOK FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE SUNDAY TIMES
BESTSELLER THE DARK SIDE OF THE MIND. LONGLISTED FOR THE CWA GOLD
DAGGER FOR NON-FICTION AWARD. 'What Lies Buried is a towering
achievement. Kerry takes us deep into the minds of the disturbed
and dangerous and challenges our very humanity. As gripping as any
thriller. Her dry wit and humour keeps it real.' BARBARA MACHIN,
screen writer and creator of Waking the Dead 'Pacy and gripping.
Daynes uses her trademark mix of humour and humanity to shine a
light on those we rarely get to hear from. A brilliant, important
and sensitive book.' SARAH LANGFORD, barrister and bestselling
author of In Your Defence 'What Lies Buried is an exceptional book
. . . I could not put it down.' FEMALE FIRST, 5 STAR REVIEW
'Kerry's dedication (and impressive ability) to read between the
lines and cast aside prejudice, going beyond the question she is so
often asked in her profession: "Are they mad or bad?"' DAILY MAIL
Kerry Daynes, leading forensic psychologist, opens up the case
files of some of her most perplexing clients to uncover what lies
buried behind some of the most extreme and disturbing behaviour.
For twenty-five years, Kerry has worked on the frontline of violent
crime, from working with the police on complex cases and acting as
an expert witness in court, to advising the government on how to
handle high-risk individuals. Whether she is dealing with a young
murderer who says he has heard voices telling him to kill, a
teacher who daubs children in red paint, or an aspiring serial
killer who faints at the sight of blood, Kerry's quest is to delve
beyond the classic question asked of her profession: 'Are they mad
or are they bad?' In her new book, Kerry provides an unflinching,
enlightening and provocative insight into the minds of her clients,
shedding light on the root causes of their behaviour and
challenging our notions about who, and what, is dangerous. If you
enjoyed The Dark Side of the Mind, Unnatural Causes and The Prison
Doctor, you will be captivated by What Lies Buried. 'Kerry is an
absolutely brilliant storyteller. I found this book challenging my
preconceptions about the criminal mind with the turn of each page.'
DAVID ROBSON, author of The Intelligence Trap
