Obsession

The FBI's Legendary Profiler Probes the Psyches of Killers, Rapists, and Stalkers

By: John E. Douglas, Mark Olshaker

Narrated by: Danny Campbell

In Obsession, John Douglas once again takes us fascinatingly behind the scenes, focusing his expertise on predatory crimes, primarily against women. 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."

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.

The first step is insight and understanding, and no one is better qualified to penetrate Obsession than John Douglas.

Excellent

Danny Campbell is the best narrator and John Douglas has written another excellent book here.

I'm obsessed

I have an obsession. John E Douglass and other profilers books. this is no exception. Narrator did an excellent job and I love how the author breaks down the mystery and shows these characters for the pathetic losers they are. I really appreciated how this book gives the victims a story as well. Its not a book about the rapists and killers but about how what they take from the world and how pointless it was.

Amazing

I loved that this book not only discussed cases, but that it also spoke in great depth about victim advocacy, therapy and legal reform. Very insightful book!

Great read

Very interesting and informative book, highly recommend for anyone interested in true crime. How he compares different predators and explains how these predators can be spotted

Another great one.

Always love anything John Douglas writes. 👏🏼 On to the next one.
My fav chapter was the Buffalo Bill and Beyond chapter.
