"Murder Trail" tells the fascinating stories of eleven high-profile murder or multiple murder cases through the eyes of the men who accepted the challenges of solving them. In each case the detective must reach deep inside the brilliant but warped minds of the criminals. Drawing on the words of our real-life detectives, their families and colleagues, and where possible, the murderer himself, as well as on archive material— news footage, surveillance recordings, interrogations, and trial transcripts— "Murder Trail" provides a wholly revealing insight into the mind of the murderer. However, the focus is always on the detective, and in this book we look at the pressures on him from the media, his bosses, politicians, and victims' families.
