À propos de cet audio

Performed by Jonathan Groff, star of the hit Netflix show Mindhunter, and featuring an exclusive conversation between John E. Douglas and Jonathan Groff at the end of the audiobook

In The Killer Across the Table, John E. Douglas, the legendary FBI criminal profiler, number one New York Times best-selling author, and inspiration for Netflix’s Mindhunter, delves deep into the lives and crimes of four of the most disturbing and complex predatory killers, offering never-before-revealed details about his profiling process and divulging the strategies used to help crack some of America’s most challenging cases.

The Killer Across the Table is narrated by Jonathan Groff, who plays Holden Ford on Mindhunter, the character inspired by John E. Douglas. The FBI’s pioneer of criminal profiling, former special agent John Douglas has studied and interviewed many of America’s most notorious killers - including Charles Manson, ”Son of Sam Killer” David Berkowitz, and ”BTK Strangler” Dennis Rader - trained FBI agents and investigators around and the world, and helped educate the country about these deadly predators and how they operate, and has become a legend in popular culture, fictionalized in The Silence of the Lambs and the hit television shows Criminal Minds and Mindhunter.

Twenty years after his famous memoir, the man who literally wrote the book on FBI criminal profiling opens his case files once again. In this riveting work of true crime, he spotlights four of the most diabolical criminals he’s confronted, interviewed and learned from. Going deep into each man’s life and crimes, he outlines the factors that led them to murder and how he used his interrogation skills to expose their means, motives, and true evil. Like the hit Netflix show, The Killer Across the Table is centered around Douglas’ unique interrogation and profiling process. With his longtime collaborator Mark Olshaker, Douglas recounts the chilling encounters with these four killers as he experienced them - revealing for the first time his profile methods in detail. Going step by step through his interviews, Douglas explains how he connects each killer’s crimes to the specific conversation and contrasts these encounters with those of other deadly criminals to show what he learns from each one. In the process, he returns to other famous cases, killers, and interviews that have shaped his career, describing how the knowledge he gained from those exchanges helped prepare him for these.

A glimpse into the mind of a man who has pierced the heart of human darkness, The Killer Across the Table unlocks the ultimate mystery of depravity and the techniques and approaches that have countered evil in the name of justice.

Jonathan does a great job

Some of the stories are "repeats" from Mindhunter but this book goes way deeper into the subject . Fascinating stuff

Great Listen

I listened to this while doing chores and housework, it was a great way to feel like I was learning something while mowing the lawn lol. This audiobook may not be for everybody as it is true crime and the cases examined are not for the soft of heart. Overall I found it insightful and very interesting well worth the money.

Very interesting and insightful

I'm a fan of both mind hunter the show and book. This book did not disappoint. It gets into the specifics of interviewing a killer, every little detail. I found it to be both terrifying and fascinating. Highly recommend for any true crime fan but not for the faint of heart. Some of the details will turn your stomach. Also, I thought the narration was great. Good job Mr Groff!

Fascinating

This is such an interesting book! This collection chronicles the FBI agents from theory to evidence via interview to profiles of violent predators. Touching on both well known killer's like Bundy, Gacey and Remirez and applying knowledge learned from those cases lesser known but equally horrific predictors.

If you enjoy true crime this book is a great addition to your collection.
