Obsession -- John E. Douglas

<b>In <i>Obsession, </i> John Douglas once again takes us fascinatingly behind the scenes, focusing his expertise on predatory crimes, primarily against women.</b> With a deep sense of compassion for the victims and an uncanny understanding of the perpetrators, Douglas looks at the obsessions that lead to rape, stalking, and sexual murder through such cases as Ronnie Shelton, the serial rapist who terrorized Cleveland; and New York's notorious Preppie Murder. <p/> But Douglas also looks at obsession on the other side of the moral spectrum: his own career-long obsession with hunting these predators. Douglas shows us how we can all fight back and protect ourselves, our families, and loved ones against the scourge of the violent predators in our midst. <p/> The first step is insight and understanding, and no one is better qualified to penetrate <i>Obsession</i> than John Douglas.<br><br><b>Author:</b> John E.
