Welcome to Front Page Fridays Week-9. Every Friday I highlight a newly published book by showcasing the first page.

My Front Page Fridays Week-9 guest is Michael Wood and the first page of his brand new psychological thriller, The Mind of a Murderer.

 

Prologue

Forensic psychology is the application of scientific knowledge to help answer questions in the study of criminal practice. Through analysing the history of the criminal, interviewing the killers and the friends and family of the suspects it is hoped a better understanding of the murderer and their acts can alert the authorities to the killers of the future. You can sit opposite an incarcerated mass murderer and ask him questions and he will answer you, but how much can you trust his answers? Serial killers are, by design, great manipulators. The theory behind the science is intricate. In my experience, the best person to fully understand a serial killer is one of his victims. Like me.

The Mind of a Murderer by Michael Wood. Published 28 March 2024 by One More Chapter.

About the Book

Dr Olivia Winter is a forensic psychologist whose job is to understand the minds of serial killers. There’s only one monster she can’t understand, her father.

Notorious and brutal, his nine-year-old daughter was supposed to be his last victim. But she survived.

Now, a serial killer is stalking the streets of London, and the police need Olivia’s help. But to catch the murderer, she must confront her demons and losing this case is not an option.
