Product Information

A tense novel from a fast-rising star, Sam Holland, The Twenty fuses a chilling race-against-time with blood-curdling crime fiction. Why do only 1 per cent of those who study law succeed in joining this mysteriously opaque profession? This book is written and narrated by criminologist and investigative reporter and ex detective Mark Williams-Thomas.

Clearly the author has achieved an awful lot in his career, but the book is in no way about his personal achievements, it is all about the victims and that is what I especially loved about it. It would make a great holiday read and in contrast it would not be out of place in an academic setting as a text, a learning tool. Society is obsessed with true crime and I have always had a keen interest in crime and have always loved the authors work and I especially enjoyed his TV programme 'The Investigator' a brilliant program.

The auditorium, a jewel of late Victorian architecture, is a favourite with audiences and performers alike for its intimacy and atmosphere.

He also talks about his time in the police force and how this has helped him progress in investigations. I also found the book offered new perspective to me on cases I thought I knew and had made up my mind about.Brutal at turns and as one would expect, Hunting Killers shows, not only the unglamorous side of crime in UK's history and far beyond, but the damage it inflicts on what is left from it - the suffering of victims and its loved ones. You really want to follow this investigator because he is very convincing and then out of the blue, he becomes his own antithesis. I've previously watched some of his documentaries but I had no idea he had made so many or was involved in so many cases. It got me thinking about limited resources in policing and flaws in our criminal justice system and the impact of these issues on the wider society. Mark is going to share his vast experience of investigating some of the most notorious cases and killers - in what promises to be a truly eye-opening and entertaining talk.

One convicted killer he doesn’t mention in this book and who he wholeheartedly supports and considers innocent is Jeremy Bamber, (who has recently received a great deal of attention and televised coverage).
