Format:Paperback
Tony Parker was uniquely gifted as an interviewer; his only rivals in the field are Studs Terkel and Mary Loudon, boith of whom are warmly recommended. Parker's special gift was a capacity to put himself in the other man's (or woman's) shoes, listening but never judging, reporting but never evaluating. This fascinating anthology will give the reader an insight into the criminal mind - usually a closed book to most of us. Brilliantly illuminating.
Format:Paperback
A brilliantly written book consisting of very different chapters which cover almost every part of the criminal mind. Engaging and intriguing, it leaves you wondering what the next page will hold and is impossible to put down! Reminding yourself of the fact that the tales are actually true is an awakening jolt back to reality which makes you question whether the present Criminal Justice System is failing the cases outlined.
