PROFILES IN MURDER An FBI Legend Dissects Killers and Their Crimes

Hardback. Foreword by Ann Rule; Intro' by Robert Ressler. The author, along with Robert Ressler and a team of experts, helped put the FBI Behavioral Science Profiling Unit on the map. This is the first full-length book devoted to making Vorpagel's unparalleled life's work known. The author reveals the inside story on how psychological profiling and old-fashioned detective work helped crack cases of serial killings, sex crimes, celebrity murders, hostage taking, terrorist crimes, and police cover-ups. The author takes us back in time to the actual scenes of the crime. His infectious enthusiasm not only inspires us to adopt his brilliant detective mind-set and sleight-of-hand logic, but draws us in to experience the unbridled euphoria of crime solving. This master detective skilfully transports us to the dramatic scenes leading up to each of these grisly crimes, subtly dropping clues, as he fine tunes our own sense of detective logic. Moreover, as one of the world's most venerated psychological profilers he even puts us into the head of the killer. This highly entertaining, one-of-a-kind work offers a glimpse into the real detective world that no other book dares deliver. We get all the chilling details of the true heart-pounding story of extremist Rastafarians plotting to assassinate Vorpagel himself. Illus., Epilogue and Index. 300pp. 8vo h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. in F. dw.
