What Lies Buried: A Forensic Psychologist's True Stories of Madness, the Bad and the Misunderstood  is OUT NOW

"Enthralling and terrifying in equal amounts. A chilling glimpse into a world unseen by many and perhaps for very good reasons. Kerry guides us gently, but firmly, through her incredible world of miscreants, monsters and the misunderstood. Both unforgettable and unputdownable."
Professor Dame Sue Black, Britain's leading pathologist and author of 'All That Remains'

'Fascinating memoir.' Katya Edwards, Daily Mail

'Daynes offers fascinating insights into what makes criminals tick and how they might be more effectively treated. Her book is funny, wise and thoroughly gripping.' Jake Kerridge, writer and critic

'Grimly fascinating - a timely and gripping exploration of mental health issues in the criminal justice system from an author intimately acquainted with its dark heart.' Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange

'Kerry Daynes writes with knowledgeable insight on a side of people - and the criminal system that purports to treat them - that many would prefer to leave alone. The humour and psychological skills that have enabled her survival shine through.' Jessica Fellowes, author of The Mitford Murders
