Bardzo prawdziwe… Absolutnie hipnotyzujące. - Ann Rule Stając twarzą w twarz z najbardziej przerażającymi mordercami Ameryki, doświadczony agent FBI Robert K. Ressler nauczył się rozpoznawać potwory, które kryją się wśród nas. Robert K. Ressler na podstawie dowodów znalezionych w miejscach zbrodni opracowuje profile psychologiczne sprawców. Analizując typ wybranej ofiary, sposób odebrania życia czy – często makabryczne – trofea, jakie ze sobą zabierają, odkrywa tożsamość bezwzględnych morderców. Wchodzi za mury więzienia, by wysłuchać osobliwych relacji z pierwszej ręki od niezliczonej rzeszy skazanych morderców, w tym od Teda Bundy’ego, Johna Wayne’a Gacy’ego, Edmunda Kepera czy Syna Sama. Podróż do wnętrza umysłu przestępcy w celu zrozumienia, jak i dlaczego zabija, jest jedną z najskuteczniejszych metod stosowanych przez FBI, by pomóc policji schwytać zabójców, którzy wciąż pozostają na wolności.
