Summary of Mind Hunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit
Mindhunter enters the minds of some of the country's most notorious serial killers to tell the real-life story of the Investigative Support Unit (ISU) -- the FBI's special force that has assisted state and local police in cracking some of the country's most celebrated serial murder and rape cases. The unit specializes in understanding the chemistry and mechanical workings of the brain's of these serial criminals, and did its homework by interviewing such murderers as Charles Manson and David Berkowitz (the Son of Sam). John Douglas, who worked for the FBI for 25 years, is an authority on the unit, and his book combines the best of nonfiction with that of a murder mystery.During his twenty-five year career with the Investigative Support Unit, Special Agent John Douglas becamea legendary figure in law enforcement, pursuing some of the most notorious and sadistic serial killers ofour time: the man who hunted prostitutes for sport in the woods of Alaska, the Atlanta child murderer, andSeattle'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, whodressed 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, creatingtheir profiles, describing their habits, and predicting their next moves.
Now, 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.
