The Murder Hunters: True Stories of How the World's Most Brutal Killers Were Brought to Justice

by Colin Bell (Author)

Synopsis

"Murder Scene Investigation" tells the fascinating stories of the world's most notorious murder cases through the eyes of the men who solved them. In each case, the detective must reach deep inside the mind of the criminal, seek to understand him and his motives, work towards a psychological profile and piece together his identity. Drawing on the testimony of the detective, their family and colleagues and, where possible, of the murderer himself, as well as on archive material - news, broadcast and police footage, surveillance recordings and interrogations plus trial transcripts - "Murder Scene Investigation" provides a wholly revealing insight into the minds of these brutal killers, offers a gripping narrative of how they were brought to account and also paints a vivid picture of life as a detective in homicide.
