Dozens of bestselling books have been written by law-enforcement figures on the serial killer phenomenon. Psychologists and clergy have added their own perspectives. This is the first and only book to marry those views.
Between Good and Evil is Roger Depue's retrospective look at a life spent apprehending criminals - mostly serial killers - as a small-town police chief, Swat team member, Behavioural Sciences Unit chief and developer of revolutionary law enforcement programmes that were the precursor to VICAP. The book also charts a spiritual odyssey that culminated in Depue becoming a Brother of the Missionaries of the Holy Apostles. While a seminarian, he counseled maximum security inmates. Following his time in the clergy, he re-entered law enforcement and today heads up the world's most elite forensics think tank, The Academy, which was the basis for the Chris Carter-created Fox TV show Millennium.
Mesmerizing...The story of Depue's journey is more gripping than any thriller - Ronald Kessler, author of The FBI AND The BUREAU
