Lovers, Killers, Husbands and Wives: A Court Psychiatrist Looks at Crimes of Passion

By Martin Blinder, MD. Dr. Blinder and his hilarious acknowledgments (see pic) provide a number of "portraits" of "individuals who have killed," in order to try to draw some general conclusions about crimes of passion. Blinder is best known for pioneering the so-called "Twinkie defense." The book itself is in great condition: some toning to the jacket and a tiny tear at the top front near the spine joint -- but any edgewear is almost imperceptible, and the pages are clean and tight.
