Stone Cold Souls: History's Most Vicious Killers
"Moffatt successfully mixes a series of comprehensive overviews of homicide, and integrates examples from both the 'celebrity' killers and from his own work and reflection. The author usefully begins with a relation of standard applications of human motivation to extreme crime, neatly linking the popular conceptions of true crime in the media with actual, profound human motivation. This element of people-watching and objective analysis proves to be most worthwhile when Moffatt warms to his theme and recounts the life and work of several killers through the centuries.Stone Cold SoulS≪/i> is a fascinating and enlightening read for all kinds of reasons, and will be of interest across several academic disciplines, as well as for the general reader."-Internet Law Book Review
