Forensic psychologist Paul Britton approaches crime scenes by asking five essential questions: what happened, who is the victim, how was it done, why, and ultimately, who is responsible? An intensely private man, Britton has gained a near-mythic reputation in crime deduction for his ability to delve into the minds of those who commit heinous acts. Unlike traditional investigators, he seeks the 'mind trace' left by perpetrators, focusing on the psychological traits that aid in identifying and understanding them.

This account offers a compelling glimpse into Britton's groundbreaking work in analyzing and treating criminal behavior. It combines the tension of a detective thriller with profound insights into the darker aspects of human nature, showcasing the complexities of the criminal mind through Britton's experiences and reflections.
