In this provocative and deeply personal book, the most prominent criminal investigator of our time offers a rare look into the workings not only of the justice system—but of his own heart and mind. Writing with award-winning partner Mark Olshaker, Douglas opens up about his most notorious and baffling cases—and shows what it's like to confront evil in its most monstrous form.
