Worshippers stream out of an Midwestern synagogue after sabbath services, unaware that only a hundred yards away, an expert marksman and  avowed racist, antisemite and member of the Ku Klux Klan, patiently awaits, his hunting rifle at the ready.    The October 8, 1977 shooting was a forerunner to the tragedies and divisiveness that plague us today. John Douglas, the FBI’s pioneering, first full-time criminal profiler, hunted the shooter—a white supremacist named Joseph Paul Franklin, whose Nazi-inspired beliefs propelled a three-year reign of terror across the United States, targeting African Americans, Jews, and interracial couples. In addition, Franklin bombed the home of Jewish leader Morris Amitay, shot and paralyzed Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt, and seriously wounded civil rights leader Vernon Jordan. The fugitive supported his murderous spree robbing banks in five states, from Georgia to Ohio.   Douglas and his writing partner Mark Olshaker return to this disturbing case that reached the highest levels of the Bureau, which was fearful Franklin would become a presidential assassin—and haunted him for years to come as the threat of copycat domestic terrorist killers increasingly became a reality. Detailing the dogged pursuit of Franklin that employed profiling, psychology and meticulous detective work, Douglas and Olshaker relate how the case was a make-or-break test for the still-experimental behavioral science unit and revealed a new type of, determined, mission-driven serial killer whose only motivation was hate.  A riveting, cautionary tale rooted in history that continues to echo today, The Killer's Shadow is a terrifying and essential exploration of the criminal personality  in the vile grip of extremism and what happens when rage-filled speech evolves into deadly action and hatred of the “other\" is allowed full reign.   The Killer's Shadow includes an 8-page color photo insert.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49598441849105,"sku":"GOR011519305","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49763029287185,"sku":"CIN0062979760G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49777138204945,"sku":"NGR9780062979766","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50057306767633,"sku":"CIN0062979760VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50125950124305,"sku":"CIN0062979760A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50264992743697,"sku":"GOR011708135","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51450137215249,"sku":"GOR012566816","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51816678719761,"sku":"NIN9780062979766","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ LIKE_NEW \/ SBYB","offer_id":51901472276753,"sku":"CIN0062979760LN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0062979760.jpg?v=1751436006"},{"product_id":"when-a-killer-calls-book-john-e-douglas-9780062979797","title":"When a Killer Calls","description":"From John Douglas—the legendary FBI criminal  profiler, #1 New York Times bestselling author, and inspiration  for the Netflix show Mindhunter—comes  a chilling journey inside the mind and crimes of Larry Gene Bell, one of the  most dangerous serial killers Douglas confronted, and the desperate effort to  identify and catch him.    On May 31, 1985, two days before her high  school graduation, Shari Smith was abducted from the driveway of her family  home in South Carolina. Based on the crime scene and the abductor’s repeated  and taunting calls to the family, law enforcement quickly realized they  were dealing with a sophisticated and highly dangerous criminal. A letter arrived  the next day entitled “Last Will \u0026amp; Testament,” in which Shari, knowing she  was to be murdered, wrote bravely and achingly of her love for her parents,  siblings, and boyfriend, saying that while they would miss her, she knew they  would persevere through their faith. The abduction rocked her quiet town,  triggering a massive manhunt and bringing in the FBI, which enlisted profiler  John Douglas. A few days later, a phone call told the family where they could  find Shari’s body.      Then nine-year-old Debra May Helmick was  kidnapped from her yard, confirming the harsh realization that Smith’s murder  was no random act. A serial killer was evolving, and the only way to stop him  would be to use the study of criminal behavior to anticipate his next move  before he could kill again. Douglas devised a risky and emotionally fraught  strategy to use Shari’s lookalike older sister Dawn as bait to draw out the  unknown subject. Dawn and her parents courageously agreed.      One of the most haunting investigations of  Douglas’s storied career, this case details how the  eerily accurate profile he created—alongside his carefully  crafted and stage-managed manipulation of the killer’s psychology—combined with  dedicated police work and cutting-edge forensic science to end a reign of  criminal terror. As Shari’s family took incredible personal risks to lure her  killer from the shadows, Douglas and the FBI pushed criminal profiling to its  limits, culminating in one of his most dramatic and  effective confrontations with a sadistic and remorseless killer.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49598555324689,"sku":"GOR012400958","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49738618372369,"sku":"NGR9780062979797","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49778031034641,"sku":"CIN0062979795G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50125950288145,"sku":"CIN0062979795A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50915193585937,"sku":"GOR013056900","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50983162413329,"sku":"NIN9780062979797","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51888781656337,"sku":"GOR014447691","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52102810796305,"sku":"CIN0062979795VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0062979795.jpg?v=1750778735"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/cases-of-the-fbi-s-original-mindhunter-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
