What happens when the world’s most notorious killers sit across the table from the FBI’s top profiler?
John Douglas—the legendary agent who inspired Mindhunter and helped pioneer criminal profiling—takes readers inside his most chilling interrogations. From the “Son of Sam” to BTK, Douglas has studied the darkest minds, but here he focuses on four predators whose twisted lives reveal how murderers think, choose their victims, and try to outwit justice.

With never-before-shared details of his profiling process, Douglas shows how he cracked America’s most terrifying cases, exposing the strategies, manipulations, and raw evil of the killers he faced.

The Killer Across the Table is true crime at its most gripping—a rare front-row seat to the conversations that unmask monsters.
