New from the UK's No.1 True Crime author, an inside look into the darkest killer minds, from criminologist Christopher Berry-Dee.

In his new book, Berry-Dee dives even deeper into the minds of murderers and serial killers. From mass murderers, spree killers, and assassins to one-off takers of human life, the criminologist and bestselling author uncovers the secrets of the most evil among us.

Tracking the most shocking cases from the past to the present day, Inside the Darkest Minds explores the lives of those who beat the law - and those who didn't. How did the careful, premediated planner come unstuck? How did the thoughtless killer escape justice?

A unique exploration of murderers and their fates, Christopher Berry-Dee once more tackles head on those destined for death row.
