The shocking follow-up to Mindhunter, now a smash-hit Netflix drama

Profiling suspects from OJ Simpson to the Unabomber, and investigating the assassination of John Lennon and the Waco tragedy, Journey Into Darkness explores the crimes of the centuryβ€”as well as cases you've never heard ofβ€”with the peerless eye of one of the FBI's finest.

Douglas, famously the inspiration for Special Agent Jack Crawford in The Silence of the Lambs, reveals the fascinating circumstance of each crime in detail as he explores the larger issues, from crime prevention and rehabilitation to the reasons behind escalating violence in society. A must read for all true crime fans.
