It is an old, well written, true classic.

It’s actually the first of its kind .. they thought it was pretty ballsy for Capote because up till that time no one ever dared write such a book , I’ve read it a few times

I’ve not heard of this.

It’s more a book about criminal profiling in Britain and when the police first started using it with varying degrees of success (like the Rachel Nickell murder on Wimbledon Common) so it’s true crime with a real investigative slant. I read it many years ago – I hope it’s still available to buy

On the Farm by Stevie Cameron – though it is beyond rage inducing in some places.

Deliver us from Evil by David A. Yallop, an excellent book about Peter Sutcliffe, the infamous brutal and deranged Yorkshire Ripper and the awful police incompetence, as the first victims were “only” prostitutes, . https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/feb/12/yorkshire-ripper-peter-sutcliffe-wont-face-new-charges-police-say
