Book Description
A racially charged murder pits the NY assistant DA against a flashy defense lawyer in an "irresistible" legal thriller by the bestselling author of Infamy (Publishers Weekly). It's the early '80s, and New York City is eating itself alive. The murder rate is skyrocketing, and Butch Karp, the battle-tested assistant district attorney in charge of the NYPD's homicide bureau, is the only thing standing between the city and chaos. And he's about to get pushed to the breaking point. As the bureau chief, Karp is not supposed to try cases himself, but he's about to make an exception. A wealthy suburbanite is accused of a series of murders in Harlem, and the case's racial implications threaten to set the city ablaze. Promising to get a conviction, Karp puts his reputation and his career on the line. His opponent is the country's most famous defense attorney, a notorious showman determined to use every trick in the book to get his client free, and destroy Butch Karp in the process. Before he became the New York Times-bestselling author of such legal thrillers as No Lesser Plea and Falsely Accused, Robert K. Tanenbaum was one of the most successful trial attorneys in New York City. Irresistible Impulse displays the grit, brains and brio that made him so successful. Irresistible Impulse is the 9th book in the Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. "Tannenbaum's snappy, electric ninth novel to feature the latter-day Hepburn and Tracy . . . the suspense here is Hitchcockian." --Publishers Weekly "Gripping." --Kirkus Reviews

Book Description
This book covers Munchausen and Munchausen by Proxy (MBP) though the terms have recently changed. The 2013 DSM-V—the update to the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) diagnostic and classification tool—has classified both Munchausen and MBP as "Factitious Systematic Abuse." While thought to have occurred primarily with children and their caregivers, recent research shows a more widespread problem: such medical abuse to spouses, the disabled, the elderly—even pets. Many involve repeat and long-term instances of hospital and medical fraud. This book covers the syndrome itself, interviewing and investigative aspects, victimology, as well indicators in the event of homicide and death.

Author: Charles Patrick Ewing Publisher: Oxford University Press ISBN: 0198043694 Category : Psychology Languages : en Pages : 215
Book Description
The insanity defense is one of the oldest fixtures of the Anglo-American legal tradition. Though it is available to people charged with virtually any crime, and is often employed without controversy, homicide defendants who raise the insanity defense are often viewed by the public and even the legal system as trying to get away with murder. Often it seems that legal result of an insanity defense is unpredictable, and is determined not by the defendants mental state, but by their lawyers and psychologists influence. From the thousands of murder cases in which defendants have claimed insanity, Doctor Ewing has chosen ten of the most influential and widely varied. Some were successful in their insanity plea, while others were rejected. Some of the defendants remain household names years after the fact, like Jack Ruby, while others were never nationally publicized. Regardless of the circumstances, each case considered here was extremely controversial, hotly contested, and relied heavily on lengthy testimony by expert psychologists and psychiatrists. Several of them played a major role in shaping the criminal justice system as we know it today. In this book, Ewing skillfully conveys the psychological and legal drama of each case, while providing important and fresh professional insights. For the legal or psychological professional, as well as the interested reader, Insanity will take you into the minds of some of the most incomprehensible murderers of our age.
