Summary
For seventeen years, if a murder was committed in the sunny Southern California cities of Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, or Irvine, Matt Murphy was there, behind the yellow tape with detectives and his team. Over his career with the Orange County District Attorney’s Office as a Homicide prosecutor, he tried fifty-two cases without a single loss. In THE BOOK OF MURDER, Murphy walks readers through some of his most memorable, heart-wrenching, gruesome, and fascinating encounters with the very worst crime. Yet, a prosecutor’s job is about more than paying attention to the tiniest details and figuring out how they piece together. As Murphy makes clear, being an outstanding prosecutor takes a commitment to finding the truth at all costs—even when the search requires taking a deep dive into the twisted mind of a serial killer or facing the anguish of a mother grieving her murdered child or sacrificing relationships and a personal life.
On today's TCT, Matt Murphy talks about a few of his most famous cases, the mindset of some of his most notorious killers, and talks about what it is like to actually get inside the mind of a serial rapist and a serial killer!
