Description
Drawing on years of experience in criminal profiling and investigative work, this penetrating true-crime account examines several notorious cases in which bias, media pressure, rushed judgment, or flawed police work distorted the search for truth. Through detailed case studies and candid personal reflections, it reveals how investigators and prosecutors can become invested in a theory and force evidence to fit the narrative. The book offers a compelling look at the psychology of crime, the human cost of miscarried justice, and the institutional failures that allow them to occur. Ultimately, it is both a dramatic exploration of difficult criminal cases and a cautionary argument for a more evidence-based, rational, and accountable justice system.
