Crime Sheet: 20 Tales of Police, Perps and Punishment

The twenty stories in Crime Sheet explore the motives, methods and mentality of the criminal, from opportunist petty thief or sophisticated con artist to obsessive stalker or murderous sociopath. With the focus in these tales centred on the psychological and social factors that lie behind the assorted felonies, the perpetrators are presented with analytical care and in some cases with a suggestion of sympathetic understanding. An underlying note in Crime Sheet is the veiled dark humour that runs in tandem with another feature of the narration, the element of the unexpected in the surprise endings that clinch a number of the stories. The easy, engaging style of the writing invites the reader into the lives, behaviour and situation of the principal characters, both criminals and victims, and makes each tale immediately accessible.
