Legendary FBI profiler and prototype of Jack Crawford from the famous "Silence of the Lambs" John Douglas explores the source of all crimes: the killer's motive. Why does a criminal kill? What motives drive him? Resentment? Revenge? Lust? The thirst for recognition and glory? One of the founders of criminal profiling, the famous FBI special agent John Douglas believes this question is key to understanding the personality of the killer - and, accordingly, his capture. By answering the question "Why?", you can answer the question "Who?" - and solve the mystery.
Exploring different motives and methods of crime, John Douglas talks about the most common types of serial and mass killers. He highlights common elements in their biographies and shows how this knowledge can be applied to other types of crimes. Using gripping stories such as Harvey Lee Oswald, the Unabomber, the murder of Gianni Versace and many others, the legendary Mindhunter takes us into the minds of rapists, poisoners, terrorists, arsonists and assassins. It vividly explains why people commit certain crimes and teaches us how to recognize potential killers before it’s too late…
