T he legendary FBI criminal profiler and international bestselling author of Mindhunter and The Killer Across the Table returns with this timely\, relevant book that goes to the heart of extremism and domes tic terrorism\, examining in-depth his chilling pursuit of\, and eventual prison confrontation with Joseph Paul Franklin\, a White Nationalist seria l killer and one of the most disturbing psychopaths he has ever encountere d.Worshippers stream out of an Midwestern synagogue after sabbath services \, unaware that only a hundred yards away\, an expert marksman and avowed racist\, antisemite and member of the Ku Klux Klan\, patiently awaits\, hi s hunting rifle at the ready.
\nThe October 8\, 1977 shooting was a forerunner to the tragedies and divisiveness that plague us today. John Do uglas\, the FBI&rsquo\;s pioneering\, first full-time criminal profiler\, hunted the shooter&mdash\;a white supremacist named Joseph Paul Franklin\, whose Nazi-inspired beliefs propelled a three-year reign of terror across the United States\, targeting African Americans\, Jews\, and interracial couples. In addition\, Franklin bombed the home of Jewish leader Morris Am itay\, shot and paralyzed Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt and seriously wounded civil rights leader Vernon Jordan. The fugitive supp orted his murderous spree by robbing banks in five states\, from Georgia t o Ohio.
\nDouglas and his writing partner Mark Olshaker return to th is disturbing case that reached the highest levels of the Bureau\, which w as fearful Franklin would become a presidential assassin&mdash\;and haunte d him for years to come as the threat of copycat domestic terrorist killer s increasingly became a reality. Detailing the dogged pursuit of Franklin that employed profiling\, psychology and meticulous detective work\, Dougl as and Olshaker relate how the case was a make-or-break test for the still -experimental behavioral science unit and revealed a new type of\, determi ned\, mission-driven serial killer whose only motivation was hate.
\nA riveting\, cautionary tale rooted in history that continues to echo tod ay\, \;The Killer's Shadow \;is a terrifying and essentia l exploration of the criminal personality in the vile grip of extremism an d what happens when rage-filled speech evolves into deadly action and hatr ed of the &ldquo\;other" is allowed full reign.
