'An intricate and brilliantly written psychiatric perspective on the most perplexing of crimes' Kerry Daynes, author of The Dark Side of the Mind 'Beautifully written and very dark' Nimco Ali OBE 'Whodunnit' doesn't matter so much, not to a forensic psychiatrist. We're more interested in the 'why'. In his twenty-six years in the field, Richard Taylor has worked on well over a hundred murder cases, with victims and perpetrators from all walks of life. 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? Does committing a monstrous act make someone a monster? Could any of us, in the wrong circumstances, become a killer? As Taylor helps us understand what lies inside the minds of those charged with murder - both prisoners he has assessed and patients he has treated - he presents us with the most important challenge of all: how can we even begin to comprehend the darkest of human deeds, and why it is so vital that we try? The Mind of a Murderer is a fascinating exploration into the psyche of killers, as well as a unique insight into the life and mind of the doctor who treats them. For fans of Unnatural Causes, The Examined Life and All That Remains. MORE PRAISE FOR THE MIND OF A MURDERER: 'A fascinating insight into what drives criminality - and a punchy polemic against mental-health service cuts' Jake Kerridge, Sunday Telegraph 'A fascinating, well-written and compelling account of the mental state in homicide' Alisdair Williamson, TLS 'A dark, fascinating and often surprising glimpse into the minds of those who kill, from a forensic psychiatrist who's seen it all' Rob Williams, writer of BBC's The Victim 'An excellent, engaging and honest book, full of interesting, powerful and important observations' Alison Liebling, Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Cambridge

An impressive and unusual first novel by Leslie Retallick, whose previous publications have all concerned the history and buildings of Torquay. His knowledge of the town underpins this novel which might, technically, be classified as science fiction, but it feels nothing like it. It is set in Torquay in the Aprils of two different years: 1898 and a year in the second decade of the twenty-first century; but the realistic sense of place and the lively, natural and often amusing dialogue allow the reader to feel equally at home in both years. Sixteen-year-old Matt and his uncle, Connor, whose 'own time' is ours, find themselves 'flipping' backwards and forwards between these two Aprils, while remaining in the same location on the edge of Torquay. In 1898 they become involved with a wealthy widow, Maria Debbon, and her three children, endangered by political scheming in connection with their family origins. Connor and Matt form emotional attachments to Maria and her elder daughter Helen respectively - relationships which are handled with insight and delicacy. The event at the heart of the novel - the destruction by fire of the Debbons' mansion on the night of 29th-30th April 1898 - has affinities with the burning of two other literary mansions: Thornfield Hall in Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and Manderley in Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca (also a West Country novel). Without making it explicit, Before The Fire offers a subtle and ingenious answer to the question: If we could go back in time, could we change the past? The book has forty-three black-and-white illustrations, mainly positioned between chapters. Some were created by the author; others are his photographs of Torquay today; but the majority are from his extensive collection of old photographs and postcards of Torquay.
