Incendiary: The Psychiatrist, the Mad Bomber and the Invention of Criminal Profiling by Michael Cannell

5.0

An engaging and skillful account of the Mad Bomber who terrorised New York in the 1950s and the long and increasingly desperate effort to bring him to justice. Author Michael Cannell presents his wide-ranging and thorough research in a fast-paced and engrossing page-turner. Among many fascinating aspects of the story is the contentious change in the legal understanding of insanity that played a key role in the outcome of the case. This book is an example of true-crime writing at its best.
