Psychopaths - And Why You need to Know

I joined for a number of reasons.  First of all, to draw your attention to an important subject, which of course sits within the subject matter of much crime-fiction, but sadly... affects so many lives in our day to day reality.  I am currently working with a film maker who will be producing a mainstream TV documentary on Psychopaths.

It will delve deeply into psychopathy both from the viewpoint of victims as well as professionals who have built  an excellent base of…

Shocked and saddened to learn of the death of one of my favourite crime writers and a great inspiration: Reginald Hill
