BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL by Roger L. Depue - BOOK - ADVANCE READING COPY

2005 NY: Warner. Advance reading copy, mint, new/unread in a flawless pictorial wrappers. "No one gets closer to evil than a criminal profiler, trained to penetrate the hearts and minds of society's most vicious psychopaths. Roger L. Depue, chief of the FBI Behavioral Science Unit at a time when its innovative work first came to prominence, headed a renowned team of mind hunters that included John Douglas, Robert Ressler, and Roy Hazelwood. He broke new ground with analytical techniques and training programs that are still used today. After retiring from the FBI, he founded an elite forensics group that consulted on high-profile cases, including the Martha Moxley and JonBenet Ramsey murders, and the Columbine school shootings." "After suffering a devastating personal loss, Depue, on the brink of despair, walked away from the outlide world and joined a seminary. It was there, while counseling maximum security inmates, that he rediscovered the capacity for goodness in people, and made the decision to return to the world to resume his work." Here is Depue's personal account, from growing up as a police officer's son to tracking down some of today's most brutal murderers. With its harrowing descriptions of human depravity and passionate call to fight against evil, Between Good and Evil is both a dispatch from the front lines of a war against human predators...and the powerful story of one man's journey between darkness and redemption.
