"It's not what you've done, it's what they know you've done. That is the key to power." In the Company of Killers by Bryan Christy begins with these words, spoken by a killer named Charles Manson and brings in his thoughts on human power. Christy uses contemporary examples as well as historical ones to illustrate this point throughout the book. Some of these examples include Franklin D. Roosevelt, Adolf Hitler and Jack the Ripper. Christy uses these different types of killers to make the case that "power" is more than just physical strength; it can come from any source: money, sex or people.

A masterful and mesmerizing account of the criminal justice system in America, Bryan Christy's In the Company of Killers is one of those rare books that you don't want to end.
