Assassinos psicopatas são a base para programas imperdíveis de televisão, mas o que os faz vibrar? O neurocientista Jim Fallon fala-nos de tomografias cerebrais e análise genética que podem descobrir as ligações podres na biologia (e na base social) dos assassinos. Numa reviravolta demasiado estranha para ser ficção, Fallon partilha connosco uma história de familia que torna o seu trabalho arrepiantemente pessoal.
