From the back:
Forensic psychologist Paul Britton asks himself four questions when he is faced with a crime: what has 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?
Paul Britton has assisted the police in over a hundred cases and has an almost mythic status in the field of crime deduction. His achievements read as though from the pages of Conan Doyle or Agatha Christie. What he searches for at the scene of the crime are not fingerprints, 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.
July 2009: I've always been interested in criminology.The Jigsaw Man introduces us to offender profiling by telling about some well known crime cases in the UK. I think I only heard about the West's and James Bulger though. It's amasing how much a psychologist can tell about a suspect by looking at crime scenes and the lifes of victims. A real interesting read.
