Axel Petermann: The Psyche of Evil

In his book, set to be published in February 2026 as part of the series "The Psyche of Evil," he investigates as a profiler, using real criminal cases to uncover what goes on in the minds of murderers: What lies behind the death of an accountant who was stabbed in a cheese factory? Was it the act of a stalker? A 13-year-old girl vanished without a trace on her way to school - there are numerous suspects, but what really happened? And why does a boy become a violent offender and later a murderer at such a young age? Axel Petermann focuses on three spectacular cases and provides astonishing new insights. His investigations reveal that cases are often prematurely closed. This time, he pays special attention to the psyche of the perpetrators. What turns people into murderers – and how do they choose their victims? The renowned criminal investigator delves into human abysses and uses profiling methods to track down the criminals. More thrilling than a crime novel and frighteningly true.
