The authorized tie-in to the popular TV show Criminal Minds
Featuring stunning photos from the CBS series, Criminal Minds:
Sociopaths, Serial Killers, and Other Deviants will give you new
terrifying and fascinating insights into the mind of a criminal.
Most episodes of CBS's Criminal Minds series feature a briefing where
the profiling team defines the type of criminal they are looking for by
examining behavior patterns that were established in actual criminal
cases. Now author Jeff Mariotte takes us deeper into the BAU process by
revealing the evil behind some of the most heinous murderers, sexual
predators, and psychopaths in history. In this authorized companion to
the hit TV series, you'll learn how real-life criminals committed their
unspeakable crimes and follow the investigators who finally tracked them
down. Mariotte explains why and how profilers organize major offenders
into types and why each of these perpetrators falls into a particular
category.
You'll get the stories behind:
