Bonus material! Includes an excerpt from John Douglas and Mark Olshaker’s Obsession!

Discover the classic behind-the-scenes chronicle of John E. Douglas' 25-year career in the FBI Investigative Support Unit, where he used psychological profiling to delve into the minds of the country's most notorious serial killers and criminals - the basis for the upcoming Netflix original series.

In chilling detail, the legendary Mindhunter takes us behind the scenes of some of his most gruesome, fascinating, and challenging cases - and into the darkest recesses of our worst nightmares.

During his 25-year career with the Investigative Support Unit, Special Agent John Douglas became a legendary figure in law enforcement, pursuing some of the most notorious and sadistic serial killers of our time: the man who hunted prostitutes for sport in the woods of Alaska, the Atlanta child murderer, and Seattle's Green River killer, the case that nearly cost Douglas his life.

As the model for Jack Crawford in The Silence of the Lambs, Douglas has confronted, interviewed, and studied scores of serial killers and assassins, including Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, and Ed Gein, who dressed himself in his victims' peeled skin. Using his uncanny ability to become both predator and prey, Douglas examines each crime scene, reliving both the killer's and the victim's actions in his mind, creating their profiles, describing their habits, and predicting their next moves.

Great book, but you need the stomach for it

This is a great book, but it'll be my last book of serial murder books. The graphic details needed to explain the profiling is really disturbing. I don't know how these investigators keep their sanity.

Must read for any crime buff!

Just a wonderful all around book. If you are not squeamish and want to hear all inside stories this is the book to listen too.

Excellent!

Fantastic story and the narrator was very good. this has been made into a series on Netflix and getting all of the extra details from listening to the book was really great.

Great read.

Started wat hung Mindhunter on Netflix this fall. Great series and found out it was based on this book. Starts a bit slow, but then really gets deep into the mind of many of these infamous killers. The storytelling is very engaging. I found myself finishing the book in 24 hours. Great listen!

Fascinating but Sobering

An amazing book! Really intriguing for anyone interested in true crimes stories and a look inside the FBI. A little on the depressing side, certainly a sobering read, but it makes you glad there are people like John Douglas out there trying to bring justice to the world. Despite the melancholy nature of the book, the author brings a certain warmth to the conversational tone of the book and even a little bit of welcome humor from time to time.
