The closest you can get to those furthest from humanity.
As one of the leading experts on psychopaths and the resident consultant on Killing Eve, Dr Mark Freestone has worked on some of the most interesting, infamous and disturbing psychopath cases of recent times.
Case by fascinating case, get to know seven of the most dangerous minds that Dr Freestone has encountered over the last 15 years – from Tony, the ‘conman’, and Paul, the ‘charming hitman’, to Angela ‘the torturer’, these are up close accounts of some of Britain’s worst psychopaths, and what can happen if you fall prey to their supreme powers of manipulation.
Exploring the many factors that make a psychopath, the complexities of psychopathic behaviour and how it manifests, as well as an examination of how the lives of psychopaths develop inside and outside in the institutions that are supposed to contain them, this book offers phenomenal and terrifying insight into those who operate in a void of human emotion ... and what can be done to stop them.
