John Douglas
FORMER FBI PROFILER AND BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF MINDHUNTER

John DouglasHe is former Special Agent John Douglas, a legendary figure in law enforcement and the model for Scott Glenn character in The Silence of the Lambs. (He was also the original choice to play the role.) As founder and chief of the F.B.I.'s Investigavtive 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 crime analysis and criminal profiling. Now, after 25 years of service, he has retired and can finally tell his unique and compelling story.

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 perpetrators, a sort of surreal chess game with life-and-death consequences. Along the way, he also shows us how understanding the minds and motives of your opponents can influence success in any arena.
