During his twenty-five years in the Investigative Assistance Unit, Special Agent John Douglas became an FBI legend by pioneering the practice of interviewing serial killers to understand their motives, habits, and weaknesses—and in doing so, laying the foundation for criminal profiling. He pursued some of the most brutal serial killers of his time, including a prostitute in the Alaskan woods, a child killer in Atlanta, and the Green River Killer, whose case nearly cost him his life.
With astonishing detail, Douglas recounts his investigations, analyzing crime scenes, recreating the actions of killers and victims, identifying their habits, and predicting their next moves. Through interviews with Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, and David Kemper, Douglas shows how his innovative approach helped identify and catch the world's most dangerous criminals. Gripping and terrifying, this book reveals how the mind of a killer works—and how it can be outwitted.
