Absolutely fascinating book! Well written and nearly impossible to put down, John Douglas describes how criminal profiling came to be, and how he helped catch several serial killers with his work inside the FBI's Serial Crime Unit. If you've ever watched "Criminal Minds" on TV (terrific series, and if you haven't seen it, you really should!), you've gotten a glimpse of what he does each and every day.
This book is not for the faint-of-heart, but I think it should be *Required Reading* for anyone who thinks there is no true evil in the world, or that if given enough therapy and "understanding," social psychotics will change their ways and be cured.
This book is an absolute keeper.
