The legendary FBI criminal profiler and international bestselling
author of Mindhunter and The Killer Across the Table returns with
this timely, relevant book that goes to the heart of extremism
and domestic terrorism, examining in-depth his chilling pursuit
of, and eventual prison confrontation with Joseph Paul Franklin,
a White Nationalist serial killer and one of the most disturbing
psychopaths he has ever encountered.
Worshippers stream out of an Midwestern synagogue after sabbath

echo today, The Killer's Shadow is a terrifying and essential
