Free UK Delivery over £25
A Parasite in the Mind is the second volume in the acclaimed Eat the Evidence trilogy by John C. Espy, which follows the story of a violent serial pedophile and murderer, Nathaneal Bar Jonah, from birth to death on a torrent of pedophilic and homicidal mayhem. It does not attempt to take the reader inside the mind of a serial killer, rather it attempts to take the serial perpetrator into the psyche of the reader. This allows the reader to experience a portion of the psychic primitiveness that a serial perpetrator uses to ensnare his victims. The books were compiled from hundreds of hours of interviews and more than a hundred thousand pages of court documents.

Similar to Volume 1, I found Volume 2 to be a compelling read. I look forward to the publication of Volume 3.
Many emotions and ideas were stirred within me as I read this book.
It is not a joyful topic because of the subject matter and at times it can be difficult to stay in place with the content. Yet, engaging this type of content promoted new self-awareness. In this way Espy's hard work was successful. I say this, as I believe one of Espy's primary objectives in writing this 3 part series is that of helping others experience something new within him/her self through the reading of these books.
Espy's 'attempt to take the serial perpetrator into the psyche of the reader' is well done.
