Used book – Instinct mortel, No. 2, Marie-Thérèse Cuny, Jean-François Nahmias, Jean-Marc Epinoux, Pierre Bellemare

For more than twenty years, Pierre Bellemare and his team have been scrutinizing crime in all its forms through the French and foreign press, and they have come to one conviction: our era of economic, moral, and spiritual crisis is, more than any other, conducive to the return of violent instincts. Indeed, while crime is timeless, the crimes they recount in this book reflect our society. Their setting? Inhuman big cities, pornography networks, cults. Their motives? Drugs, sex, the all-mighty dollar. Often also loneliness, drift, madness...Who are these men and women who, one day, come to transgress the most powerful of taboos? This is what we discover throughout these brief and sober accounts, which are at turns tragic and fascinating.
