  Former Northamptonshire policeman Paul Harrison has had his latest book 'Mind Games' taken out of circulation by publisher Urbane Publications.
  
  Paul Harrison has long been considered a leading expert on serial killers. He is a world-wide name and has written books on Ted Bundy, the Kray twins and Charles Manson. Martina Cole has even described him as 'the master of the true crime genre'.
  
  Paul Harrison has previously claimed that he has interviewed some of the world's most notorious serial killers, which includes the Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe,  and that he has acted as a profiler for the FBI. 
  
  Reports are suggesting that Former staff at the FBI have revealed they have never met him.
  
  It is also being widely reported that Peter Sutcliffe penned a letter ranting: 'Paul Harrison is an absolute charlatan, a conman. He never corresponded with me, nor did he ever visit me. He needs to be exposed for the downright liar he is!'
  
  The Daily Mail also details a Facebook post allegedly made by Paul Harrison as saying:
  
  'It seems I've let everyone down, I'm sorry for that. This monster is no longer mine, nor is it what I wanted it to be.
  
  'I saw it as a tool to give victims a voice, everywhere, but because I'm weak and vulnerable and utterly useless at decision making I was introduced into sensationalising events by promoters who often sent out misleading blurb. Something I had to live up to. I've decided to call it a day for now. No more shows or interaction on social media'.
  
  The post has since been removed.
  
  The Manchester Crime Club group on Facebook, who Mr Harrison has strong links with, has suggested that Mr Harrison is currently ill.
  
  
  
  Harrison's publishers Urbane have published the following statement on their website:
  
  To our readers
  
  You may have seen the article on the Sun website (12th July) calling into question the veracity of Paul Harrison’s claim to be an experienced criminal profiler. Like everyone who worked with Paul Harrison, the attendees to his talks and the readers of his books, we are very concerned by these revelations and are currently seeking clarification before deciding what further action to take. 
  
  However, with immediate effect we will be withdrawing Mind Games from sale and endeavouring to remove all stock and details from every relevant retail channel. We will also be donating any profits we have secured thus far from the sales of Mind Games to charities that help and support victims of violent crime.
