Legendary FBI profiler and prototype of Jack Crawford from the famous "Silence of the Lambs" John Douglas talks about the hunt for one of the most dangerous psychopaths in his career - the famous racial killer Joseph Franklin. Believers leave the synagogue after Saturday service. They do not suspect that just fifty meters away an experienced shooter is patiently waiting for them with a hunting rifle at the ready. The mass shooting that day was the first in a string of deadly killings across five states and also spawned a large following of white supremacists. In addition to the blacks, Jews, and women who tainted the "purity of the white race," an assassin named Joseph Franklin bombed the home of Jewish leader Morris Amitai, shot Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt, leaving him permanently confined to a wheelchair, and seriously wounded black rights leader Vernon. Jordana: John Douglas, the forensics legend who pioneered the creation of profiling, details how he followed the trail of a killer whose Nazi-inspired beliefs led to three years of terror in the United States. Detailing the process of capturing Franklin through nascent psychological profiling, he describes how he identified a new type of killer - a cold-blooded, unemotional psychopath whose only motivation is aversion to people who are different from him. Gripping and terrifying, Shadow of the Killer masterfully exposes the psychology of people who commit hate crimes. “An insightful and chilling book. Franklin is gone, but how many more Franklins are there left? - Alabama Public Radio "John Douglas and Mark Olshaker, the writers of Mindhunter, return with a chilling story that's all too relevant today, even though it's set in the 1970s." – Popsugar “A must read for anyone wanting a glimpse into the minds of those inciting hatred and violence today.” – Publishers Weekly “When it comes to true crime, no one has stories quite like John Douglas.” – Philadelphia Inquirer
