Mindhunter: Cazadores de mentes

Mindhunter is the first-person account of John Douglas, the man who revolutionized the techniques for studying the minds of serial criminals. During twenty-five years as an FBI special agent, Douglas helped solve the most difficult cases, with astounding successes, such as the one that led him to anticipate the personality of a child murderer in Atlanta, contradicting the opinions of his colleagues. This book is not only the story of his career, but a chilling exploration of the minds of serial killers, based on his interrogations of figures such as David Berkowitz, the "Son of Sam"; Charles Manson; Ed Kemper, the "Co-ed Killer", who began his criminal career at fourteen; or Ted Bundy. It is not surprising that the story of the first criminal profiler in history has become a reference book for filmmakers like David Fincher —director of the Netflix series Mindhunter— or has served as inspiration to create characters such as special agent Jack Crawford in The Silence of the Lambs.
