Publisher's Synopsis
In his 26 years in the field, Richard Taylor has worked on well over 100 murder cases. Taylor draws on some of the most tragic, horrific and illuminating of these cases to explore some of the questions he grapples with every day: Why do people kill? Does committing a monstrous act make someone a monster? Could any of us, in the wrong circumstances, become a killer? As Taylor helps us understand what lies inside the minds of those charged with murder, he presents us with the most important challenge of all: how can we even begin to comprehend the darkest of human deeds, and why it is so vital that we try?
