Mindhunter is a real-life, fascinating insight into the life of a FBI Special Agent, and the minds of the psychologically disturbed serial killers he hunts.
John Douglas joined the FBI in 1970, starting his career as a
sniper in a SWAT team and progressing on to become a hostage
negotiator. In 1977 he transferred to the Behavioural Science Unit
(BSU), where he taught applied criminal psychology. He created the
FBI's Criminal Profiling Program and led this division of special
agents through harrowing and groundbreaking cases, including those
behind Anthony Hopkins' role as Hannibal Lecter. Douglas lives with
his family in the Washington, DC area.
Mark Olshaker, author of four novels and producer of the
Emmy-nominated The Mind of a Serial Killer, lives in Washington DC.
