Sehr wahrhaftig… Absolut hypnotisierend. Robert K. Ressler, ein erfahrener FBI-Agent, steht den erschreckendsten Mördern Amerikas gegenüber und lernt, die Monster zu erkennen, die sich unter uns verbergen. Anhand von Beweisen aus Tatorten entwickelt er psychologische Profile der Täter. Durch die Analyse des Opfers, der Art und Weise, wie das Leben genommen wird, und oft makabrer Trophäen, die die Mörder mitnehmen, enthüllt er die Identität der skrupellosen Verbrecher. Er betritt Gefängnismauern, um aus erster Hand von einer Vielzahl verurteilter Mörder zu hören, darunter Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Edmund Kemper und der Sohn des Sam. Die Reise in den Geist des Verbrechers, um zu verstehen, wie und warum er tötet, ist eine der effektivsten Methoden des FBI, um der Polizei zu helfen, Mörder zu fassen, die noch auf freiem Fuß sind. Ressler diente als Vorlage für die Figur des Agenten Bill Tench aus der erfolgreichen Serie Mindhunter und beriet Thomas Harris während der Arbeit an Das Schweigen der Lämmer.
