| Caleb J Ross interviews author Alan Emmins about his book Mop Men: Inside the World of Crime Scene Cleaners, for which the author spent time with a California crime scene cleaning company, scrubbing away the stains left by the dead.
Mop Men could have easily steered into true crime territory, adhering to all the formalities and he-said-she-said that defines the genre. Instead, Emmins allows the reader to experience the morbid situations as an invested voyeur. As Alan writes of his own self-reflection – disturbed, intrigued, and changed by the horrific crime scenes he helps clean – the reader must reflect as well. |
