By Barbara R. Kirwin, Ph.D. "True cases of evil, madness, and murder" and "the criminal mind on trial" are also phrases from the cover and perhaps alternate subtitles? Whatever the case (as it were), Kirwin is a "renowned forensic psychologist" who here recounts "her most grisly cases" and gives profiles of some others, including Colin Ferguson (!), Ted Bundy, and Susan Smith.
This paperback is in readable shape: some edgewear and a slight cock to the spine, a couple crunched pages — but the spine is uncracked. A solid reading copy.
