THE NEW EDITION OF THE BESTSELLING CLASSIC FROM THE UK'S NO.1 TRUE CRIME AUTHOR 'No one else does true crime quite like it,' Crime Monthly Magazine'Terrifying and chilling... True crime at its best.' Daily ExpressLook around you, because the person sitting right next to you could be a cold, heartless murderer. . . In Talking With Psychopaths, bestselling author and 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 these people showed was in many ways even 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. This chilling study of darkest of criminal minds 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...

The wife of the Hillside Strangler only learned of her husband's crimes when state police smashed down her door in search of him. When finding out the truth, these innocents have to face the grim reality of betrayal and deceit and often experience guilt for not having recognized the killer in their home.

In a search for answers, bestselling author Christopher Berry-Dee offers case studies in some of the most infamous mass killings of the past fifty years. Talking with Psychopaths: Mass Murderers and Spree Killers tackles the heavy crime of people who randomly kill large numbers of others (spree killers) and those who set out to do so in specific places or situations (mass killers). As such killings become more frequent, the ready availability and ease of obtaining firearms and weak backgrounds checks in the United States inevitably lends to many of these cases, but there have been other recent examples in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Norway, where extremely robust firearms legislation could not stop these horrific crimes. What is more difficult to establish is the motivation behind such killings. Some are occasioned by grievance, real or imagined, while others have their origins in a sense of failureor feelings of inadequacy, and yet others seem to be driven by a desire for power over their fellow humans, often coupled with an overriding contempt for the lives of others. Whether examining school massacres, workplace killings, hate crimes, or familicides, is the awful truth that such murderers are almost impossible to predict and prevent? Dig in and find out.

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. >
