Another of those books I bought when planning to buy and read, one by one, all the psych books in my local bookstore. It begins with an overall psychoanalytical description of the characteristics that tend to distinguish those capable of murder. The remainder of the book is a detailed description of Abrahamsen's professional participation in the trial of a man known as Tiger.
