Der legendäre FBI-Profiler John Douglas und das Fazit seiner langjährigen Berufserfahrungen: Niemand wird aus heiterem Himmel zum Killer, Vergewaltiger und Bombenleger – häufig gibt es lange vor der Tat deutliche Warnsignale. Doch wie lässt sich erkennen, ob aus dem Jungen, der heute gedankenlos Ameisen quält, später ein psychopathischer Massenmörder wird? Welche Anzeichen deuten auf unkontrolliertes Gewaltpotenzial? Wer das rechtzeitig erkennt und ernst nimmt, kann eingreifen, bevor es zu spät ist. Brillant seziert und analysiert Douglas neue spektakuläre Fälle wie etwa den Mord an Gianni Versace. Entscheidend bei der Fahndung nach Gewaltverbrechern ist für ihn stets die Frage nach dem Motiv hinter der Tat. Ob sensationelle Serienverbrechen oder blutige Familientragödien – die Aufdeckung des Motivs, die Antwort auf die Frage nach dem Wie und Warum, ist der Schlüssel zur Aufklärung eines Gewaltverbrechens.

We are confronted with a formidable army of invisible threats, and a plan is urgently needed. Unlike natural disasters, which impact specific areas over time, infectious diseases can disrupt daily life globally, overwhelming resources and halting trade and transportation. The advancements that facilitate the movement of people, animals, and goods also make epidemics and pandemics increasingly likely. Recent outbreaks of Ebola, MERS, yellow fever, and Zika have shown our alarming lack of preparedness. To safeguard against these deadly enemies, we must identify necessary resources and programs. Drawing on cutting-edge medical science, case studies, policy research, and epidemiological insights, this work examines how we can protect ourselves from the escalating threats of infectious diseases. The authors highlight a future where antibiotics may fail, bioterrorism becomes a reality, and the risk of a catastrophic influenza pandemic grows. By understanding the challenges ahead, we can work to prevent the unthinkable from becoming inevitable. This narrative combines scientific drama, medical mystery, and a practical call to action, serving as both a reality check and a roadmap for the future.

'John Douglas is the FBI's pioneer and master of investigative profiling' Patricia Cornwell

From John Douglas, the renowned FBI criminal profiler and inspiration for the Netflix show Mindhunter, comes a chilling exploration of Larry Gene Bell, a dangerous serial killer. On May 31, 1985, just days before her graduation, Shari Smith was abducted from her home in South Carolina. Law enforcement quickly recognized they were dealing with a sophisticated criminal after receiving a series of taunting calls and a haunting letter from Shari, who expressed her love for her family while facing her fate. This tragic event triggered a massive manhunt, with the FBI enlisting Douglas to help. Shortly after, the family received a call revealing the location of Shari's body, and the abduction of nine-year-old Debra May Helmick confirmed the presence of a serial killer. To stop him, Douglas devised a risky strategy using Shari's lookalike sister, Dawn, as bait. This case showcases one of Douglas's most haunting investigations, where he combined his accurate profiling with innovative police work and forensic science. As Shari's family took immense personal risks to lure the killer, Douglas and the FBI pushed the boundaries of criminal profiling, culminating in a dramatic confrontation with a remorseless murderer.
