___________________________________________
The award-winning true crime classic.
Forensic psychologist Paul Britton asks himself four questions when he is faced with a crime scene: what happened: who is the victim: how was it done, and why? Only when he has the answers to these questions can he address the fifth: who is responsible?
What he searches for at the crime scene are not frinerprints, fibres or bloodstains - he looks for the 'mind trace' left behind by those responsible: the psychological characteristics that can help the police to identify and understand the nature of the perpetrator.
The Jigsaw Man is not only a detective story involving some of the most high-profile cases of recent years, but also a journey of discovery into the darkest recesses of the human mind to confront the question 'Where does crime come from?'
Customer Reviews
Brilliant
Enthralling, easy to read, mind blowing.
Cracking!
The story of Paul Britton, the real life Cracker, and how he got into being a criminal psychologist.
Starting with his young life, he tells all, no qualifications, nightschool etc.
How he helped solve a murder by giving a profile of the murderer. Then how it stemmed to more profiles from there.
This is gripping as the author mentions his involvement in some of the most well known criminal cases known in the UK.
Well worth it! You won’t be disappointed.
My favourite
This and Paul's other book are my favourite books, every couple of years i dig them out and read. I've never re-read another book apart from these. I really can't recommend them enough.
