MINI 018 The Other Side of Mystery

We Know what the victim and the cops think when someone breaks into one of these.  But what about the safecracker? What goes on in her head?

 

Sometimes, we lend this space to others. It doesn’t happen often. Most recently it was in august of 2015, when a ghost ghost-wrote a story from the ghost-viewpoint of a haunted house.

 

We read a lot of mystery novels.  And the heroes are always a detective or other law enforcer type. Some of them are about a psychologist who helps solve crimes.  Or a lawyer and in one case, a district attorney.

 

But never have we read one where the main character is the criminal.  Wouldn’t you like to know the mind of a mobster or murderer?  Or, for that matter, a Madoff?

 

What went through Bernie's head while he scammed all those people and organizations.  Did he think he was ultimately doing the right thing? Can thievery like that ever be right?  Did he have some kind of higher motive? It's unlikely but possible.  And if true, wouldn’t it be interesting to hear the reasoning behind it?

 

Here’s a link to the Ghost Story from August 2015.
