Non-Fiction | True Crime
In 1990, a young woman was strangled on a jogging path near
the home of Pat Brown and her family. Brown suspected the
young man who was renting a room in her house, and quickly
uncovered strong evidence that pointed to him—but the police
dismissed her as merely a housewife with an overactive
imagination. It would be six years before her former boarder
would be brought in for questioning, but the night Brown
took action to solve the murder was the beginning of her
life's work. Pat Brown is now one of the nation's few
female criminal profilers—a sleuth who assists police
departments and victims' families by analyzing both physical
and behavioral evidence to make the most scientific
determination possible about who committed a crime. Brown
has analyzed many dozens of seemingly hopeless cases and
brought new investigative avenues to light. In The
Profiler, Brown opens her case files to take readers
behind the scenes of bizarre sex crimes, domestic murders,
and mysterious deaths, going face-to-face with killers,
rapists, and brutalized victims. It's a rare, up-close,
first-person look at the real world of police and profilers
as they investigate crimes—the good and bad, the cover-ups
and the successes.
