The Tragedy of True Crime is a first-person journalistic account of the lives of four men who have killed, written by a man who has killed. Lennon entered the New York prison system with a sentence of 28 years to life but after he stepped into a writing workshop at Attica Correctional Facility, his whole life changed. Reporting from the cell block and the prison yard, Lennon challenges our obsession with true crime by telling the full life stories of men now serving time for the lives they took.

Dansk Kriminalreportage indeholder en lang række spændende autentiske sager, som er skrevet af de politifolk, der var med i opklaringsarbejdet. Sagerne er alle afsluttede, og domsfældelse har fundet sted. Læseren kommer med ind bag nogle af de mest dramatiske sager i dansk politihistorie, og får stiftet bekendtskab med det puslespil, det er at finde frem til gerningsmændene. Det er hæsblæsende læsning, og ofte overgår virkeligheden fantasien.

This book explores the science, psychology, and controversy behind polygraph testing. Far from being a flawless instrument of justice, the polygraph is better understood as a “stress detector” than a “lie detector.” It measures physiological changes—heart rate, breathing patterns, and skin conductance—that may be linked to deception but are not exclusive to it. Nervousness, fear, anger, or even the pressure of being under suspicion can all produce the same readings as a lie. This ambiguity is at the core of the ongoing debate about whether polygraphs are reliable science or clever theater.
