DESCRIPTION:
From the victims they choose, to the way they kill, to the often grotesque souvenirs they take with them, Ressler unlocks the identities of these vicious killers for the police to capture. Now the man who coined the phrase "serial killer" and advised Thomas Harris on The Silence of the Lambs shows how he has tracked down some of the nation's most brutal murderers. It is a terrifying journey you will not forget.. Join Ressler as he takes you on the hunt for America's most dangerous psychopaths. Face-to-face with some of America's most terrifying killers, FBI veteran and ex-Army CID colonel Robert Ressler learned from them how to identify the unknown monsters who walk among us - and put them behind bars. Just as it happened in The Silence of the Lambs, Ressler uses the evidence at a crime scene to put together a psychological profile of the killers
"Very good book." according to Sue. I loved this book. Ressler takes you step by step through his interviews, why he asks the questions he does, why he responds to the killers the way he does when he gets a certain kind of answer, and it is readable by a layperson. I saw Ressler speak at my college many years ago and was completely engaged by his lecture. When I by chance came across this book, I jumped at the opportunity to read it. If you are fascinated by serial killers and/or the idea of profiling, you will like this book.. Love this book Ressler's the man. He sat in the seat many law enforcement officials envied. Hearing the intricate details from killers who revealed very few or nothing about their personal lives to others. He tells the stories of his experiences with no fear of the person he sat with. Everyone is oddly interested when murder comes to town. But before Ressler, not enough people paid attention to what makes a killer tick, what is a killer and how can we prevent these people from hurting others? Amazing read, couldn't put it down. Wort. E. Joseph Anna said Whoever Fights Monsters by Robert Ressler. An excellent account of tracking criminals by FBI pioneer profiler, Robert Ressler. It helps those of us with normal psyches to better understand those among us whose psychopathology leads them to commit unthinkable crimes. A real eye opener!A.A.
