Face-to-face with some of America's most terrifying killers, FBI veteran and ex-Army CID colonel Robert Ressler learned from them how to identify the unknown monsters who walk among us - and put them behind bars. Now the man who coined the phrase "serial killer" and advised Thomas Harris on The Silence of the Lambs shows how he has tracked down some of the nation's most brutal murderers.
Just as it happened in The Silence of the Lambs, Ressler uses the evidence at a crime scene to put together a psychological profile of the killers. From the victims they choose, to the way they kill, to the often grotesque souvenirs they take with them, Ressler unlocks the identities of these vicious killers for the police to capture.
Join Ressler as he takes you on the hunt for America's most dangerous psychopaths. It is a terrifying journey you will not forget.

However the pompous, condescending narration gets old fast. Written as if he knows more than everyone and is the only one who could figure out the patterns in criminal behavior. At times I could almost hear the childish "I told you so" being said in the background.
Additionally, the narrator's cadence was tiresome. Finished but had to take numerous breaks along the way.

I wonder if the author watches the criminal crime shows on today and laughs. He is the reason they exist. He is the reason their computer systems exist. He is the reason why the public took notice.
It is a cursory overview of the birth of the BSU of the FBI and a fun look into the motives of some of the most notorious serial killers from someone who was active in their cases and in studying their crimes first hand. The book won’t teach you to profile or go into a lot of detail about each case, but it is a satisfying listen.
