Legendary FBI profiler John Douglas illustrates how profiling helps catch a killer - using the example of sex maniac Larry Gene Bell, who murdered two girls in South Carolina. On May 31, 1985, two days before her high school prom, young Shari Smith was abducted outside her home in South Carolina. All indications were that a sexually motivated murder had been committed. But most unusual and frightening of all, the maniac began calling the murdered girl's family, reveling in his power and manipulation over the inconsolable women - her mother and older sister Dawn - as well as sending them Shari's farewell letter and telling them where to find her body. The investigation is led by FBI profiler John Douglas, who knows: the killer won't stop there. Shortly thereafter, a nine-year-old girl is kidnapped, confirming his fears. The criminal is becoming more dangerous, and the only way to lure him out is to get a good look at his personality during the calls and play on his weaknesses. And the only way to do this is to jeopardize the Smiths' second daughter, Dawn - who kept getting calls from the killer. The maniac warns: she's the next victim. "God wants you to join Shari. It's only a matter of time. You won't be guarded all the time..." Sharp and engaging, When the Killer Calls, illustrates how the study of criminal psychology helps solve a case and come face to face with a sadistic and ruthless killer.
