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.
