Legendary FBI profiler and prototype Jack Crawford from the famous "Silence of the Lambs" John Douglas explores the source of all crime: the killer's motive. Why does the criminal kill? What motives drive him? Resentment? Revenge? Lust? Thirst for recognition and glory? One of the pioneers of criminal profiling, the famous FBI special agent John Douglas considers this question to be the key to understanding the killer's identity - and, consequently, to catching him. Answering the question "Why?" answers the question "Who?" - and solves the mystery. Exploring the different motives and methods of crime, John Douglas discusses the most common types of serial and mass murderers. He identifies common elements in their biographies and shows how this knowledge can be applied to other types of crime. Using compelling stories - the Harvey Lee Oswald case, the Unabomber, the Gianni Versace assassination, and many others - the legendary Mindhunter immerses us in the minds of rapists, poisoners, terrorists, arsonists, and assassins. He vividly explains why people go on to commit certain crimes and teaches us how to recognize potential killers before it's too late....
