In this fascinating memoir, Taylor draws on some of the most tragic, horrific and illuminating of these cases - as well as dark secrets from his own family's past - to explore some of the questions he grapples with every day: why do people kill?

UN CHOC. Depuis 1984, Jean-Luc Ployé a effectué plus de 13 000 expertises psychologiques pour les tribunaux français : la moitié sont des victimes, l'autre des mis en cause.
