Journey Into Darkness

The shocking sequel to Mindhunter—now a hit Netflix series.

In Mindhunter, Douglas chronicled his brilliant—albeit terrifying—career tracking down some of the most horrific criminals in history. In Journey into Darkness, he provides blunt, candid, often unapologetic and direct profiles of notorious serial killers, rapists, and pedophiles, while never failing to express deep empathy for the victims. It was Douglas who profiled suspects ranging from O.J. Simpson to the Unabomber; he was a key figure in capturing America’s most infamous pedophiles and has participated in the investigations of the "crimes of the century," as well as cases you have never heard of—all through the unique lens of one of the FBI’s finest.

Some of the unique cases Douglas examines include:

▶ The Claremont killer;
▶ The schoolgirl murders;
▶ Richmond’s first serial killer;
▶ The brutal and sadistic murder of Suzanne Marie Collins;
▶ The abduction and murder of Polly Klaas by Richard Allen Davis;
▶ The tragedy that led to the creation of "Megan’s Law."

Douglas manages to peer into the minds of serial killers using a powerful weapon: behavioral science. Criminal profiling helps not only in capturing them but also in helping society understand how these sociopaths think and what can be done to protect ourselves and prevent new tragedies.

Journey into Darkness continues the perilous journey into the psyche of the serial killer, but also offers hope that profiling can allow law enforcement to identify a serial killer and intervene before they strike again.
