Douglas’ twenty-five-year career in the FBI Investigative Support Unit, where he used psychological profiling to delve into the minds of the country’s most notorious serial killers and criminals.In chilling detail, the legendary Mindhunter takes us behind the scenes of some of his most gruesome, fascinating, and challenging cases—and into the darkest recesses of our worst nightmares. During his twenty-five year career with the Investigative Support Unit, Special Agent John Douglas became a legendary figure in law enforcement, pursuing some of the most notorious and sadistic serial killers of our time: the man who hunted prostitutes for sport in the woods of Alaska, the Atlanta child murderer, and Seattle's Green River killer, the case that nearly cost Douglas his life. As the model for Jack Crawford in The Silence of the Lambs, Douglas has confronted, interviewed, and studied scores of serial killers and assassins, including Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, and Ed Gein, who dressed himself in his victims' peeled skin. Using his uncanny ability to become both predator and prey, Douglas examines each crime scene, reliving both the killer's and the victim's actions in his mind, creating their profiles, describing their habits, and predicting their next moves.

This is not a book for true crime aficionados like myself. By my estimation, it was written for members of the John Douglas fan club and anyone else who needs to know the minute details of his life. In fact, I'd say it's written for people who love Douglas at least as much as he clearly loves himself. HOLY COW can this man bloviate! It is barely an exaggeration to say that pretty much every sentence in the first 100+ pages (that's how far I got before throwing in the towel) is crafted to show how amazingly smart, cool, brave, athletic and good-looking John Douglas is. Even his supposed attempts at self-deprecation are really just thinly disguised backdoor brags. When as a reader you're continuously losing your place on the page because your eyes keep rolling into the back of your head, it's time to put the book down.Perhaps my mistake was reading Robert Ressler's books first. Ressler was truly a man of humility with a love for his craft. He was instrumental in wresting the FBI from the hands of stodgy old timers convinced of their bureaucratic omnipotence and gearing it towards mining a wealth of other disciplines for their knowledge. He had true empathy for the victims and their families, yet was not beyond seeing the humanity of the monsters whose unforgivable crimes would lead others to write them off as the embodiment of pure evil, thereby forgoing time and again the opportunity to truly understand what made them -- and those like them -- tick.While being respectful overall to the individuals with whom he worked over the years -- Ressler does use the forum of his book to briefly address certain intra-office gripes he had over his illustrious career. It should come as no surprise that he intimated very briefly that Douglas had a habit of overstating his own role in certain major cases (Ressler says he straight-up LIES with regards to his relationship with John Wayne Gacy).Unlike with Douglas, the bulk of Ressler's books focus on the cases and their psychological underpinnings, in addition to the perpetrators and victims. In other words, his books deliver what true crime connoisseurs are seeking. In Douglas, I found a writer far too consumed by the cult of his own personality to focus much on actual crime. Perhaps that story changes somewhere well into the triple-digit pages, but I eventually lost interest in slogging through how amazing John Douglas is to find out.
