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.…

Review
-- Robert Ressler, author of Whoever Fights Monsters "I am seldom shocked. I was shocked by Russ Vorpagel's seminar....This book will show you ... real cases that will shock you with their depravity, their cruelty, so be prepared. You will learn more about the actual art of profiling than you hoped for. Vorpagel's instructive techniques are mesmerizing. This is not a television or movie detective who is teaching you; he is the real thing."
-- Ann Rule, author of The Stranger Beside Me and Bitter Harvest "A frank, no-holds-barred chronicle of violence and death in all its brutally shocking, graphic details. Russell Vorpagel delivers his message with astonishing candor... He gives a clear, penetrating glimpse into the minds of sick, depraved, deranged killers involved in serial murders, sexual crimes, and celebrity violence."
-- Frank M. Jordan, Former Mayor and Chief of Police, City and County of San Francisco "This is rip-roaring biography that reads like fiction."
-- Booklist "This book is real....You will ask yourself, 'Where is this going?' at the same time you will find yourself unable to set it down. For years to come you will find this book in the offices of homicide investigators and prosecuting attorneys throughout the world in death investigations. This investigating tool is long overdue."
-- J. Fred Bowman, Former Chairman, Criminology Department, Yuba Community College
