John Douglas is the FBI's most legendary criminal profiler, and the inspiration for David Fincher's hit Netflix show Mindhunter.
In his new book, The Killer Across The Table, this number-one New York Times bestselling author offers never-before-revealed details about his process and divulges the strategies he's used to crack some of America’s most challenging cases. Presenting the book in Toronto for the first time, Douglas will team up with investigative journalist Billy Jensen, host of the wildly popular Murder Squad podcast and author of Chase Darkness With Me, to offer an expert account of why most homicides occur and how his interviews with America’s most notorious killers—including Charles Manson and ”Son of Sam Killer” David Berkowitz—led to the development of a unique interrogation system that has countered evil in the name of justice. An extraordinary glimpse into the mind of a man who has pierced the heart of human darkness, The Killer Across the Table is a must-read for true crime fans—and anyone seeking to better understand the roots of criminal behaviour.
