Miriam Allen deFord — celebrated across fields from poetry to science fiction — brings her formidable analytical mind to bear on some of the most disturbing criminal cases of her era, illuminating what drives ordinary and extraordinary minds alike to kill. Each case is dissected with a rare blend of academic rigour and intuitive human understanding, making this collection both a forensic study and a profound meditation on the darkest corners of the human psyche. As noted critic Anthony Boucher observed, deFord achieves an almost uniquely penetrating truth in her study of true crime — a testament to the enduring power and authority of this remarkable volume.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48893805363419,"sku":"2026100006416-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/4a3526e0-b9fb-4497-9f34-1f963d181a14.png?v=1782040243","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006416-secondhand-murderers-sane-mad-case-histories-in-the-motivation-and-rationale-of-murder","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
