📘 The serial killer whisperer by Pete Earley

In his book, Pete Earley recounts the life of a man who, after sustaining a severe traumatic brain injury, loses the capacity to experience repulsion. This unique neurological condition leads him to develop an uncanny rapport with inmates convicted of serial murder. Through detailed correspondence and interviews, Earley explores the psychological implications of a brain damaged by violence and its effect on moral judgment. The narrative also examines how this individual’s lack of disgust becomes both a professional advantage and a moral dilemma for investigators, forensic psychologists, and the criminal justice system.
