Sunday e-mail 27th September: All the cons I have fallen for while backpacking (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Regular readers know that I am a keen backpacker and therefore never shut up about it. Give me half a chance or half a glass of wine and I’ll bore you rigid about that time in Bulawayo when my wife and I were walking down the pavement, minding our own business, and she disappeared into a hole; or that time in Delhi when I got so sick I could no longer tell day from night; or that time in Mozambique when I accidentally took a bus through the middle of a civil war.

SERIAL KILLERS ON (ALMOST) EVERY CONTINENT (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In last week’s newsletter, we addressed the question of whether serial killing is – as some have claimed – symptomatic of Western culture: capitalism; individualism; industrial economies; and so on. We ended by looking briefly at Europe’s cities, which far too many commentators link far too often with vertiginous crime rates.
