CRIMINAL MINDS Sociopaths, Serial Killers & Other Deviants

Hardback. 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 behaviour patterns that were established in actual criminal cases. Now the author 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 authorised companion to the TV series, you'll learn how real-life criminals committed their unspeakable crimes and follow the investigators who finally tracked them down.
