Early in her career, Dr Adshead works with a serial killer in Broadmoor Hospital.

Leading forensic psychiatrist, Dr Gwen Adshead, has spent thirty years as a therapist in secure hospitals and prisons. In THE DEVIL YOU KNOW she introduces some of her patients - individuals shaped and scarred by their own violence - who must live with the consequences of their actions forever. With compassion and wisdom, Gwen seeks to understand terrible crimes and to offer a new approach to the concept of evil.

Early in her career, Dr Adshead starts work at Broadmoor Hospital where she comes face to face for the first time with a serial killer. He is not at all what she expected.
