THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER**OUT NOW: WHAT LIES BURIED. THE SENSATIONAL NEW BOOK BY KERRY DAYNES** 'Enthralling and terrifying. The Dark Side of the Mind is a chilling glimpse into a world of miscreants, monsters and the misunderstood.' Professor Dame Sue Black, author of the Sunday Times bestseller All That Remains 'A stunning, insightful, provocative piece of work. Wonderfully written and full of honesty.
A powerful excavation of the world of a forensic psychologist.' Barbara Machin, creator and writer of Waking The Dead 'Kerry Daynes delves into the minds of psychopaths in a fascinating memoir.' Katya Edwards, Daily Mail 'Daynes offers fascinating insights into what makes criminals tick and how they might be more effectively treated. Her book is funny, wise and thoroughly gripping.' Jake Kerridge, writer and critic 'Grimly fascinating - a timely and gripping exploration of mental health issues in the criminal justice system from an author intimately acquainted with its dark heart.' Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange 'Kerry Daynes writes with knowledgeable insight on a side of people - and the criminal system that purports to treat them - that many would prefer to leave alone.
The humour and psychological skills that have enabled her survival shine through.' Jessica Fellowes, author of The Mitford Murders Welcome to the world of the forensic psychologist, where the people you meet are wildly unpredictable and often frightening. The job: to delve into the psyche of convicted men and women to try to understand what lies behind their often brutal actions. Follow in the footsteps of Kerry Daynes, one of the most sought-after forensic psychologists in the business and consultant on major police investigations.
Kerry's job has taken her to the cells of maximum-security prisons, police interview rooms, the wards of secure hospitals and the witness box of the court room. Her work has helped solve a cold case, convict the guilty and prevent a vicious attack. Spending every moment of your life staring into the darker side of life comes with a price. Kerry's frank memoir gives an unforgettable insight into the personal and professional dangers in store for a female psychologist working with some of the most disturbing men and women.
If you enjoyed Unnatural Causes, When the Dogs Don't Bark and Prison Doctor you'll love Kerry's gripping account of her experience as a forensic psychologist.

Biographie de Kerry Daynes

Kerry Daynes is a registered Consultant Forensic Psychologist with over twenty-five years of frontline experience. During that time, she worked in secure hospitals, prisons and community forensic services and was often invited to act as psychological specialist in major police investigations. Part of her day job still involves acting as an expert witness in court, for parole boards and training the police and other organisations.
However, she now spends the majority of her time trying to affect change from the outside as a campaigner and advocate for better conversations around crime, justice and mental health. She is a patron of the National Centre for Domestic Violence and Talking2Minds and, as a survivor of stalking herself, has acted as a spokeswoman for the Suzy Lamplugh Trust's stalking-related campaigns. Kerry is the person the TV networks turn to for expert true crime commentary.
Highly respected and known for her knowledgeable but personable delivery and sparky personality, she has contributed to numerous high-profile documentaries. These have been shown on BBC, ITV, Ch4, Ch5, The History Channel, Discovery, CBS Reality, The Crime & Investigation Network, BBC International, Curiosity Stream, Netflix and more. She is also 'The Profiler' in the award-nominated series 'Faking It: Tears of a Crime', now in its seventh season.
Kerry lives in Cheshire with Captain Fur Potato, her pekingese-ewok crossbreed. Twitter: @KerryDaynes.
