Studies on the subject of Psychopathy? Books that describe scientifically the aspects of this kind of disorder?

There have been some pop-sci books on the subject. A bit too pop for me. I can look em up.

Is the "A bit too pop" that bothers me. Are they at least accurate?

I only know Kevin Dutton, which wrote a book with Andy McNab which I was a fan of years ago. That one was very pop. He wrote another book "The Wisdom of Psychopaths" which I have not read.
There's another book called "Snakes in Suits", which I also have not read. I suggest to look at google scholar. I sometimes look at research on the "dark triad" which includes psychopathy.

So far of what I've read I only liked The Mask of Sanity. Despite it's horribly sounding name it gives you a pretty good idea of the condition. Cleckley is the first to define it as far as I know. He is a bit old fashioned and silly at times but fair minded.
Pretty much anything else I've read boils down to "They are ivel and will kill you in your sleep". A particular standout in this is Hare, who for some reason is considered one of the leading authorities on the subject.
The fact of the matter is that psychology as a science is still in the Dark ages. 99,99% of the things I read in the field are utter crap.

Handbook of Psychopathy.

The Psychopathic Mind: Origins, Dynamics, and Treatment.

Political Ponerology.
