Abstract:
Presents the real story behind the elite FBI unit popularized in the film The silence of the lambs. Using a detailed psychological profile, the unit helps the Rochester, New York, police department catch a notorious serial killer who targeted prostitutes.

The Boston Strangler. The Son of Sam, Jeffrey Dahmer. Every time a serial killer hits, it touches a deep collective nerve of fear, in part because his grisly acts so defy comprehension. Or do they? Step behind the scenes at the FBI's Investigative Support Unit, where psychological detectives race against time to penetrate the minds and emotions of the most elusive of murderers. Using state of art science, elite investigators tease apart crime scene evidence and scrutinize victim profiles to construct an astonishingly accurate personality print of the perpetrator and a good guess as to how and when he'll make his next move.
