Obsessed with Netflix’s Mindhunter? Celebrate the launch of Season 2 with the bestselling true story of how one underfunded FBI team became the first to explore the dark world of serial murderers.

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.

Douglas invented and established the practice of criminal profiling, and submerged 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. As his serial crime unit developed from a derided two-bit operation in a dingy officer to one of the FBI’s elite task forces, Douglas personally confronted 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.

New cases, but a little too focused on Douglas himself I find forensic psychology absolutely fascinating and this book just fuelled my interest!The book is well written and maps the history of the FBI unit as well as John Douglas’ career. It is informative and very interesting.I like that the book has cases I had not heard of before; we have all read famous cases over and over and it gets dull. However, I would have liked to have read about more cases than are presented in the book. A lot of the content is around John…

A biography catered to entertain, not educate I was very disappointed in this book, many people were recommending it and seemed to be rating it highly, but now I understand that it was trending because of a Netflix show. I wanted to learn more about forensic investigation and criminal profiling, it seemed with the writers experience who would have a wealth of knowledge, but I wasted hours of my time on this book with virtually none of the information I wanted to know.Most of this book is the writer talking about his own life,…

I found the book actually got better the more I read and I am now looking … I purchased this book recently having read the rave reviews received for the series of the same name on Netflix. I am an avid thriller reader and fascinated by most things related to crime so found this account by John Edward Douglas who is a former United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent and one of the first criminal profilers a very informative read. He recounts some of the cases he has dealt with, many of which are house old names such as Charles Manson and Ted Bundy and…
