Lynne Fenton: Aurora: The Psychiatrist Who Treated the Movie Theater Killer Tells Her Story, Gebunden

Klappentext

A chilling and controversial look at evil from the psychiatrist who treated mass murderer James Holmes prior to the 2012 shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, CO.

As a national expert and speaker on mass shootings and gun violence, Dr. Lynn Fenton knew it was impossible to "spot a killer." But when she embarked on treating troubled grad student James Holmes, the hair on her arms stood up. She knew she was dealing with evil. Yet she could find no legal means of locking him up.

A decade ago, on July 20, 2012, Holmes' struck: he entered a packed movie theater and opened fire, killing 12 people and wounding 70; some were left brain damaged, several were paralyzed for life.

Dr. Fenton's inability to thwart Holmes's mass murder made her a scapegoat and put her own life in danger. Her chilling account provides an intimate look at her life before, during and after the Aurora massacre, as well as alarming insight into the sinister patient who described himself as "fear incarnate." With unprecedented access to thousands of pages of documents, audio and video recordings, trial transcripts, medical records and notes, Aurora attempts to answer the question Holmes himself posed in his infamous Notebook: "Why? Why? Why?"
