Description
The bestselling true story and inspiration behind the hit Netflix show, looking at how one underfunded FBI team became the first to explore the dark world of serial killers. 'John Douglas knows more about serial killers than anybody in the world' Jonathan Demme, director of The Silence of the Lambs John Douglas is a former FBI Special Agent and expert in criminal profiling and behavioural science. He made a career of looking evil in the eye - and understanding it. No wonder that he was the inspiration for Special Agent Jack Crawford in The Silence of the Lambs, as well as the film's consultant on the reality of serial killers. Now in Mindhunter, Dougals explains how he invented and established the practice of criminal profiling, submerging himself in the world of serial killers in a quest to understand why they killed, and to help prevent more innocent lives from being ended by future killers. Taking us on the journey of his serial crime unit developing from a derided two-bit operation in a dingy officer to one of the FBI's elite task forces, Douglas discusses some of the most terrible crimes of the age, including those of Jeffrey Dahmer, Charles Manson, Ted Bundy and the Atlanta child murderer. With the fierce page-turning power of a bestselling novel, yet terrifyingly true, Mindhunter is a true crime classic. Praise for Mindhunter: 'John Douglas is the FBI's pioneer and the master of investigative profiling' Patricia Cornwell, bestselling crime writer 'A frightening look inside the mind of the depraved' JOE's 100 books to read before you die 'A cracker of a book' Esquire 'A must read if you are interested in crime and particularly the criminal mindset.' ***** Reader review 'A real-life page-turner' ***** Reader review 'Had me hooked from start to finish' ***** Reader review 'A brilliant insight into serial killers and criminals, I just couldn't put it down!' ***** Reader review
