En savoir plus sur le livre

There is only one John Douglas, who first captivated readers in Mindhunter with his remarkable career at the FBI until his retirement in 1995. Now, alongside coauthor Mark Olshaker, Douglas takes us deeper into the dark world of criminal profiling. We follow him on a journey that reveals how police identify unknown subjects behind violent crimes, including rapes, bombings, and murders. The narrative highlights the work of skilled agents like Jud Ray, who accurately described a killer's personality over the phone, Gregg McCrary, who confronted a murderer on national television, and Steve Marfigian, who devised a strategy to solve a series of heinous crimes and exonerate an innocent man. Additionally, Douglas provides a fresh perspective on the infamous murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, as if he were called to profile the perpetrator. His experiences have profoundly influenced his views on justice and punishment. The journey is perilous yet ultimately hopeful, showcasing how behavioral science serves as a powerful tool against the most sadistic criminals. Readers gain valuable insights on protecting themselves and their families, leaving the journey with a deeper understanding of the human condition that only Douglas can provide.
