Ressler learned how to identify the unknown monsters who walk among us -- and put them behind bars. In \u003ci\u003eWhoever Fights Monsters\u003c\/i\u003e, Ressler--\u003cb\u003ethe inspiration for the character Agent Bill Tench in David Fincher's hit TV show Mindhunter\u003c\/b\u003e--shows how he was able to track down some of the country's most brutal murderers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRessler, the FBI Agent and ex-Army CID colonel who advised Thomas Harris on \u003ci\u003eThe Silence of the Lambs\u003c\/i\u003e, used the evidence at a crime scene to put together a psychological profile of the killers. From the victims they choose to the way they kill to the often grotesque souvenirs they take with them--Ressler unlocks the identities of these vicious killers. And with his discovery that serial killers share certain violent behaviors, Ressler goes behind prison walls to hear bizarre first-hand stories from countless convicted murderers, including Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy; Edmund Kemper; and Son of Sam. Getting inside the mind of a killer to understand how and why he kills is one of the FBI's most effective ways of helping police bring in killers who are still at large. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJoin Ressler as he takes you on the hunt for the world's most dangerous psychopaths in this terrifying journey you will not forget.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-283790\"\u003eRobert K.
