All the good stuff that you would expect from a criminal book, and all the sad stuff too. This man is not plastic, he has feelings and has worked hard all his life. I couldn't put it down.

We learn very little about Paul himself, but you cannot help but realise what his job must have c ...

Brilliant man...I was totally entranced by The Jigsaw Man, how Paul Britton can tell the things about a criminal by the odd things they've done? From James Bulger to the Rachel Nickel murder and more he pin-points what the killers are going to do next, where they hang out, hobbies and past relationships. The profiles seemed to be guess work or plucked out from nowhere hopeing they get the person responsibe, but he has this ability to be right..I can see why he didn't want to be in the public eye ...
