Search - The Killer Across the Table: Unlocking the Secrets of Serial Killers and Predators with the FBI's Original Mindhunter

The Killer Across the Table Unlocking the Secrets of Serial Killers and Predators with the FBI's Original Mindhunter
Author: John E. Douglas, Mark Olshaker

The legendary FBI criminal profiler, number-one New York Times bestselling author, and inspiration for the hit Netflix show Mindhunter delves deep into the lives and crimes of four of the most disturbing and complex predatory killers, offering never-before-revealed details about his profiling process, and divulging the strategies used to crack s... more »ome of America?s most challenging cases.

The FBI?s pioneer of criminal profiling, former special agent John Douglas, has studied and interviewed many of America?s most notorious killers?including Charles Manson, ?Son of Sam Killer? David Berkowitz and ?BTK Strangler? Dennis Rader?trained FBI agents and investigators around and the world, and helped educate the country about these deadly predators and how they operate, and has become a legend in popular culture, fictionalized in The Silence of the Lambs and the hit television shows Criminal Minds and Mindhunter.Twenty years after his famous memoir, the man who literally wrote the book on FBI criminal profiling opens his case files once again. In this riveting work of true crime, he spotlights four of the most diabolical criminals he?s confronted, interviewed and learned from. Going deep into each man?s life and crimes, he outlines the factors that led them to murder and how he used his interrogation skills to expose their means, motives, and true evil. Like the hit Netflix show, The Killer Across the Table is centered around Douglas? unique interrogation and profiling process. With his longtime collaborator Mark Olshaker, Douglas recounts the chilling encounters with these four killers as he experienced them?revealing for the first time his profile methods in detail. Going step by step through his interviews, Douglas explains how he connects each killer?s crimes to the specific conversation, and contrasts these encounters with those of other deadly criminals to show what he learns from each one. In the process, he returns to other famous cases, killers and interviews that have shaped his career, describing how the knowledge he gained from those exchanges helped prepare him for these.A glimpse into the mind of a man who has pierced the heart of human darkness, The Killer Across the Table unlocks the ultimate mystery of depravity and the techniques and approaches that have countered evil in the name of justice.

I really enjoy the "How" and all the information these authors go about interviewing all the killers in the book! Wow some humans are really twisted! Great book for the true crime lovers and the way the killers get caught.
