A likeable young girl who's burnt her family home to the ground. A man with no memory of the night he killed his wife. A teenager whose visions and voices have had murderous effect. One question binds these and others from the casebook of Britain's leading forensic psychiatrist: Why? What drives a person to commit seemingly inexplicable crimes? Dr Duncan Harding is the person the police and the courts turn to for answers. An expert witness, he must try to establish a defendant's mental state and motivation. And their fitness to stand trial
