British criminal psychologist Carrie Danes has a lot of stories from her extensive practice as a forensic scientist, her ability to summarize them and an undeniable talent for storytelling (her co-author, society columnist Jessica Fellows, has also affected).

The book’s overly enticing title is balanced by an honest attempt to help the reader recognize calculating, unscrupulous, and self-absorbed manipulators who might be our colleagues, bosses, or even parents. Psychopathy, the authors explain, is a special form of personality disorder in which socially unacceptable inclinations and character traits are formed.
