Legendary head of the FBI’s
Investigative Support Unit He has hunted some of the most
notorious and sadistic criminals of our time: the Trailside Killer
in San Francisco, the Atlanta child murderer, the Tylenol poisoner,
the man who hunted prostitutes for sport in the woods of Alaska,
and Seattle’s Green River killer, the case that nearly ended
his own life.
He developed the first psychological profile of the Unabomber,
but found the FBI wary of his pioneering techniques. His aggressive
plan of action was ignored.
He has confronted, interviewed, and studied dozens of serial killers
and assassins — including Charles Manson, Sirhan Sirhan, Richard
Speck, John Wayne Gacy, David Berkowitz (Son of Sam) and James Earl
Ray — for a landmark study, to understand their motives and
motivations. To get inside their minds.
He is able to become both predator and prey. He examines a crime
scene and creates profiles of the perpetrators, describing their
habits and predicting their next moves. Ultimately, when his work
has helped snare the criminals, he can help build strategy for interrogating
and prosecuting them.
He is Special Agent John Douglas, a legendary figure in law enforcement
and the model for the Scott Glenn character in The Silence of the
Lambs. (He was also the original choice to play the role.) As chief
of the FBI’s Investigative Support Unit — the team that
tackles the most baffling and senseless of unsolved violent crimes
— Douglas is the man who ushered in a new age in behavioral
science and criminal profiling. Now, after 25 years of service,
he has retired and can finally tell his unique and compelling story.
Expanding on his national best sellers, Obsession, Mind Hunter
and Unabomber: On the Trail of America’s Most Wanted Serial
Killer (all co-authored with Mark Olshaker), Douglas’ lecture
program delivers a fascinating inside look at some of the most intriguing
criminal cases of our time. His most recent book, The Anatomy of
Motive, analyzes such notorious criminal minds as Lee Harvey Oswald,
Theodore Kaczynski, and Timothy McVeigh - and helps us learn how
to anticipate potential violent behavior before it’s too late.
Drawing from his long and extraordinary career, Douglas takes us
inside the cat-and-mouse struggle between his elite squad of investigators
and a chilling rogues gallery of assailants, a sort of surreal chess
game with life-and-death consequences.
