<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>LEARN THE TRUE STORY OF ONE OF THE FBI PROFILERS WHO COINED THE PHRASE "SERIAL KILLER"</b></p><p>Face-to-face with some of America's most terrifying killers, FBI veteran Robert K. Ressler learned how to identify the unknown monsters who walk among us -- and put them behind bars. In <i>Whoever Fights Monsters</i>, Ressler--<b>the inspiration for the character Agent Bill Tench in David Fincher's hit TV show Mindhunter</b>--shows how he was able to track down some of the country's most brutal murderers.</p><p>Ressler, the FBI Agent and ex-Army CID colonel who advised Thomas Harris on <i>The Silence of the Lambs</i>, used 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. And with his discovery that serial killers share certain violent behaviors, Ressler goes behind prison walls to hear bizarre first-hand stories from countless convicted murderers, including Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy; Edmund Kemper; and Son of Sam. Getting inside the mind of a killer to understand how and why he kills is one of the FBI's most effective ways of helping police bring in killers who are still at large.</p><p>Join Ressler as he takes you on the hunt for the world's most dangerous psychopaths in this terrifying journey you will not forget.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"The real thing . . .
