The Bagbys-hoping to gain custody of Zachary-moved to Newfoundland and began a long, drawn-out battle in court and with Canadian social services to protect their grandson from the woman who had almost certainly murdered their son. Then, in August 2003, Shirley Turner killed herself and the one-year-old Zachary by jumping into the Atlantic Ocean.

A motivating combination of insight about the importance of relating to people in person and advice on how to develop social skills and habits that enrich life, woven together with amusing stories, built on a double entendre playing on the term OFFLINE—meaning, on the one hand, the opposite of being online, technologically speaking, and on the other hand, stepping out of the straight line people tend to follow in life, their comfort zone, or the mindless rut they get into.Over many years, he wrote investment reports for private circulation that touched upon issues such as infrastructure, demographics and the vagaries of markets. He broadened his horizons by reflecting too upon aspects of the art market and life in general but, more importantly, started sending articles to friends, clients and associates on subjects that they were interested in or which he felt they should be aware of. The response to this was overwhelmingly positive and led to the genesis of OFFLINE. The fundamental premise behind it was that in a wired world people needed more than ever to engage in physical interaction with one another. The articles were mere props but they reinforced the fact that the simple acts of talking, laughing, eating, thinking and so forth had most impact when widely shared. OFFLINE is designed to be the antithesis of everything online and recognises that veering off road and then back on it is both valuable and necessary. It aims to challenge and provoke, question and answer, stimulate and amuse, nurture and nourish in a delightful and congenial setting.Be there, be present, be curious.

In a search for answers, bestselling author Christopher Berry-Dee offers case studies in some of the most infamous mass killings of the past fifty years. Talking with Psychopaths: Mass Murderers and Spree Killers tackles the heavy crime of people who randomly kill large numbers of others (spree killers) and those who set out to do so in specific places or situations (mass killers). As such killings become more frequent, the ready availability and ease of obtaining firearms and weak backgrounds checks in the United States inevitably lends to many of these cases, but there have been other recent examples in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Norway, where extremely robust firearms legislation could not stop these horrific crimes. What is more difficult to establish is the motivation behind such killings. Some are occasioned by grievance, real or imagined, while others have their origins in a sense of failureor feelings of inadequacy, and yet others seem to be driven by a desire for power over their fellow humans, often coupled with an overriding contempt for the lives of others. Whether examining school massacres, workplace killings, hate crimes, or familicides, is the awful truth that such murderers are almost impossible to predict and prevent? Dig in and find out.
