He revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, the suicide of Sylvia Plath, the Jerry Sandusky paedophilia scandal at Penn State University, and the death of Sandra Bland—throwing our understanding of these and other stories into doubt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSomething is very wrong, Gladwell argues, with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don't know.
