Special Agent

De: Candice DeLong

Narrado por: Candice DeLong

A twenty-year veteran of the FBI, Candice DeLong worked on some of the toughest hig-stakes criminal investigations of our time. As a field profiler, DeLong collected evidence at the scene of the crime to creat a specific portrait of criminals via behavioral patterns, character traits, background, etc. Special Agent is her remarkable personal story-- of drama and danger on the front lines of law enforcement, of the art and science of criminal profiling, and of the challenge of maintaining courage, wise-cracking humor, and grace under fire.

Candice DeLong tailed terrorists and helped track the notorious Tylenol killer; she was one of three agents hand-picked to mastermind the Montana manhunt for the Unabomber; and she went undercover for major stings, sometimes in such exotic roles as a gangster's moll, and as a madam of a call-girl ringdubbed the "Candy Store." As Profiling Coordinator, she was Chicago's and until her recent retirement, San Francisco's link to the Bureau's legendary Behavioral Science Unit, spearheading investigations into the most recondite serial murders and sex crimes. Packed with fascinating details about her job, Special Agent reveals what life is like for a woman and for an agent on the front lines.©2001 Candice DeLong; (P)2001 Random House, Inc.

Candice DeLong Is A True Hero & Mentor For All

It's been a life long dream of mine to one day be able to hear Ms. DeLong speak live and hopefully have the honor to be able to meet and talk with her, especially about my experience & research in the area of psychopathy (for which I received a 2nd PhD for in 2020).

This was a fun book and wonderful to hear from someone, like myself, who had worked and for me me was going to graduate school for my 1st PhD, both in male dominated fields back in the years when women were first breaking into certain fields of study and work.

My only complaint? I wish it was longer! Lolol 😂 I truly appreciate and am very grateful for her hard work and dedication. I hope she does more books soon!

Enjoy! - Lady Anne

A very real perspective

I listen to Candices podcast, so naturally bought the book. It’s a very interesting story into the beginning of women in the FBI and how it works in real life plus good stories and tips.

Thoroughly enjoyed it!

I’ve enjoyed watching Candice Delong on television. She is amazing and so is her life. I definitely recommend this book.
