Chasing a Serial Killer
"Criminal profilers have the challenging task of building a profile, or description, of an unknown criminal offender. Using clues left behind at a crime scene and various investigative processes, they can discover what the culprit was feeling, planning, and perhaps even their next move. This is especially important when the perpetrator is a serial killer who will likely strike again. Readers will be engrossed in this account of a criminal profiler on a case. Vivid on-the-job photographs and images perfectly match the action of the story and support key attributes of this important career."
