Recenzje

"A chilling true crime story that feels all too relevant in today's climate, despite the fact that it covers a case from the 1970s." - PopSugar, on The Killer's Shadow

"The authors write with clarity and authority as they lay out a devastating portrait of an unrepentant racist. This is a must read for those looking for insight into the minds of those instigating racial violence today." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Killer's Shadow

"Fast-paced tale of the search for a racist serial killer in the early days of criminal profiling...A taut, terrifying view of White supremacy taken to murderous extremes, now all too common." - Kirkus Reviews on The Killer's Shadow

"This fascinating and haunting expert account helps us understand why the most shocking homicides occur... [this] will be of particularly urgent interest." - Booklist (starred review), on The Killer Across the Table

"[A] must read for everyone wanting to understand the minds of depraved serial killers. Once again John Douglas walks into rooms most of us would shun in our worst nightmares and comes back with remarkable insight into what type of person perpetrates such horrible acts." - New York Journal of Books on The Killer Across the Table
