The Dynamics of Murder:
Kill or Be Killed,
is my latest bestselling criminology text and true crime book.
According to Harold
Schechter, Professor of American Literature and Culture and bestselling historical true crime author,
The Dynamics of Murder is "an
indispensable sourcebook for anyone interested in American homicide, from
law-enforcement professionals to armchair criminologists."
In fact, the
book is a multifaceted examination of murder, offenders, victims, and
characteristics of homicide in American society. It is generally intended for
an audience of students in criminology and other disciplines, as well as
professionals in law enforcement, psychology, and sociology.
But the book
will appeal to thriller writers as a great resource on the crime of homicide.
For instance, there are chapters on serial killers, mass murder, domestic
homicide, and terrorism--common themes in many of today's thriller novels.
Fans of true
crime will also find this a gripping read. Included are several case studies of
real life murders. For example, the tragic tale of Sahel Kazemi, the young
woman who murdered her lover, ex NFL football star quarterback star Steve
McNair, before killing herself in what amounted to a love triangle is examined.
