Mindhunter by John E Douglas

Mindhunter by John E Douglas

Now a Netflix original series

Discover the classic, behind-the-scenes chronicle of John E. Douglas' twenty-five-year career in the FBI Investigative Support Unit, where he used psychological profiling to delve into the minds of the country's most notorious serial killers and criminals.

In chilling detail, the legendary Mindhunter takes us behind the scenes of some of his most gruesome, fascinating, and challenging cases--and into the darkest recesses of our worst nightmares.

During his twenty-five year career with the Investigative Support Unit, Special Agent John Douglas became a legendary figure in law enforcement, pursuing some of the most notorious and sadistic serial killers of our time: the man who hunted prostitutes for sport in the woods of Alaska, the Atlanta child murderer, and Seattle's Green River killer, the case that nearly cost Douglas his life.

As the model for Jack Crawford in The Silence of the Lambs, Douglas has confronted, interviewed, and studied scores of serial killers and assassins, including Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, and Ed Gein, who dressed himself in his victims' peeled skin. Using his uncanny ability to become both predator and prey, Douglas examines each crime scene, reliving both the killer's and the victim's actions in his mind, creating their profiles, describing their habits, and predicting their next moves.

JOHN DOUGLAS, the legendary FBI criminal profiler and New York Times bestselling author, has spent over twenty-five years hunting the worst of the worst, researching and culling the stories of America's most disturbing criminals. A veteran of the United States Air Force, he has been involved with more than five thousand violent crime cases over the past half century. He holds a doctorate degree in education based on teaching police officers methods of crime classification, he is an active consultant, and is a highly sought-after speaker. One of the foremost experts and investigators of criminal minds and motivations, he and his wife, Pam, a teacher, live in the Washington, DC area.

MARK OLSHAKER is an Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker and author of twelve nonfiction books and five novels, including Einstein's Brain and The Edge. His books with John Douglas, beginning with Mindhunter and, most recently, The Killer's Shadow, have sold millions of copies and have been translated into many languages. Mindhunter has been made into a dramatic series on Netflix, directed by David Fincher. Olshaker has also written extensive on another subject of deadly mysteries: disease detection and public health. His book Deadliest Enemy: Our War Against Killer Germs, with Dr. Michael Osterholm, predicted the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic and became a New York Times bestseller. He and his wife, Carolyn, an attorney, live in the Washington, DC area.
