Face to Face with Evil: Conversations with Ian Brady by Chris Cowley
4.0
This book doesn't really tell Ian Brady's story as to how and why the author thinks that Ian committed the crimes that he did, but it is more of a textbook introduction to Criminology and where it could lead you.
As a student with a vast interest in Serial Killers, and the Criminological world in general, I found this book to be an interesting read. It may not be very long, but the sections are intriguing and helped me to gain more of an impression of what Criminology and profiling was about.
If you are looking for information on Ian Brady in particular, I would choose a different book focused more on his crimes - but I believe this book should be read by any budding Criminology student as an introduction to the subject.
