Roy Hazelwood & Stephen G. Michaud - Dark Dreams




Disturbing book written by two FBI profilers in which they analyze perverted maniacs, serial killers, sexual sadists and the like. Each chapter is dedicated to different crime type and is given example from different murders. Authors discuss how this people look quite like us, but I disagree by saying that most of them are such wretched souls, auto mechanics, repairmen and they are certainly observable by keen mind. All in all, very exciting and informative book, winner of Edgar Fact Crime Award which will certainly interest crime fiction lovers.
