In Obsession, John Douglas once again takes us fascinatingly behind the moments, focusing his expertise on predatory crimes, primarily against women. With a deep feeling of compassion for the victims and an uncanny knowledge of the perpetrators, Douglas talks about the obsessions that lead to rape, stalking, and sexual murder through such situations as Ronnie Shelton, the serial rapist who terrorized Cleveland; and New York’s notorious ‘Preppie Murder.’

But Douglas also talks about obsession on the far side of the moral range: his very own career-long obsession with hunting these predators. Douglas shows us how exactly we can all fight back and protect ourselves, our households, and loved ones against the scourge from the violent predators in our midst.

The first rung on the ladder is insight and understanding, no one is better qualified to penetrate Obsession than John Douglas.
