Mind Hunter. The FBI's Special Section for Investigating Serial Killings

The legendary FBI profiler John Douglas, who inspired the character of Jack Crawford in «The Silence of the Lambs», reveals the secrets of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. Douglas was the first to talk to serial killers — to understand... their motives, habits, and weaknesses — laying the groundwork for criminal profiling. This knowledge allowed him to track down the most dangerous predators, including the Alaska prostitute killer, the Atlanta child murderer, and the Green River Killer, predicting their next moves. Analyzing the cases of Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, and Edmund Kemper, Douglas shows how profiling helps penetrate the mind of a criminal. With horrifying detail, the legendary «mind hunter» takes us behind the scenes of some of his most chilling, gripping, and complex cases — and into the darkest corners of our worst nightmares.
