A fantastic read for any would-be crime psychologists- By: , 02 Nov 2000 This was my first encounter with the motive behind crime & it certainly encouraged me to read more. Ressler deals with the subject matterin such a unique way that putting the book down gets increasingly more difficult as the book progresses. I found his accounts not only extremely fascinating, but also informative & relevant to the subject matter. This is not just an account of the criminals that Ressler has dealt with, he also takes the time to sum up his own feelings as to why these crimes were committedin the way they were. It is this which makes the book unique.A fantastic look into the mind of a killer- By: , 29 Apr 2000 This book tells us how profiling started & the works & thnking behind the serial killer..
