Professor David Wilson has spent his professional life working with violent men – in particular men who have committed murder. Aged 29 he became the UK’s youngest ever prison Governor in charge of a jail, and his career since then has seen him sat across a table from all sorts of killers. Some of these men became David’s friends; others would still love to kill him. 

My Life with Murderers tells the story of David’s journey from idealistic prison governor to expert criminologist and professor. With experience unlike any other, David’s story is a fascinating and compelling study of human nature.
