TRUE CRIME - The Becoming of Killers
Nothing is as brutal as reality
For years, whenever Romy Hausmann researched her thrillers, she came across the stories of true crimes. TRUE CRIME comprises those cases which – in her view – blazingly illuminate the abyss that can be human nature: crimes committed by people like you and I, the neighbours next door. Crimes which are not the brain child of a versatile writer, but rather stem from real life. In 11 exemplary cases, Romy Hausmann examines the grounds that bred those crimes and their impact. She draws a picture of obsession and greed, grief, anger and forgiveness – the emotional and social fall-out experienced by perpetrators, victims and investigators alike.
