The legendary FBI criminal profiler, number-one New York Times
bestselling author, and inspiration for the hit Netflix show
Mindhunter delves deep into the lives and crimes of four of the
most disturbing and complex predatory killers, offering
never-before-revealed details about his profiling process, and
divulging the strategies used to crack some of America's most
challenging cases. The FBI's pioneer of criminal profiling, former
special agent John Douglas, has studied and interviewed many of
America's most notorious killers-including Charles Manson, "Son of
Sam Killer" David Berkowitz and "BTK Strangler" Dennis
Rader-trained FBI agents and investigators around and the world,
and helped educate the country about these deadly predators and how
they operate, and has become a legend in popular culture,
fictionalized in The Silence of the Lambs and the hit television
shows Criminal Minds and Mindhunter. Twenty years after his famous
memoir, the man who literally wrote the book on FBI criminal
profiling opens his case files once again. In this riveting work of
true crime, he spotlights four of the most diabolical criminals
he's confronted, interviewed and learned from. Going deep into each
man's life and crimes, he outlines the factors that led them to
murder and how he used his interrogation skills to expose their
means, motives, and true evil. Like the hit Netflix show, The
Killer Across the Table is centered around Douglas' unique
interrogation and profiling process. With his longtime collaborator
Mark Olshaker, Douglas recounts the chilling encounters with these
four killers as he experienced them-revealing for the first time
his profile methods in detail. Going step by step through his
interviews, Douglas explains how he connects each killer's crimes
to the specific conversation, and contrasts these encounters with
those of other deadly criminals to show what he learns from each
one. In the process, he returns to other famous cases, killers and
interviews that have shaped his career, describing how the
knowledge he gained from those exchanges helped prepare him for
these. A glimpse into the mind of a man who has pierced the heart
of human darkness, The Killer Across the Table unlocks the ultimate
mystery of depravity and the techniques and approaches that have
countered evil in the name of justice.
