Mindhunter: Inside the FBI Elite Serial Crime Unit (Now A Netflix Series)

Product Information

Billy Jensen is an investigative crime writer who focuses specifically cold cases. He says in this book that he hunts killers because he “hates the guy got away with it,” but after the death of his close friend and writing partner, Michelle McNamara, he hates that so many people devote so much of their lives to finding killers. He got so discouraged at reporting questions with no answers that he tried his hand at solving murders themselves. This book talks about the cases that he helped solve and his journey to solving them. (He also stepped in after the late Michelle MacNamara’s death to help finish her book about the Golden State Killer, I’ll Be Gone in the Dark.He and Paul Holes also host a podcast about cold cases to incite interest in fellow amateur sleuths who can help bring criminals to justice.) Evil Has a Name: The Untold Story of the Golden State Killer by Paul Holes & Jim Clemente Truman Capote’s “nonfiction novel,” as he called it, supposedly started the true crime genre. He documents the annihilation of the Clutter family from a journalistic perspective, piecing the scenes together from his myriad interviews with everyone in town, from the police to the mail lady to the criminals themselves. What’s even more interesting is that he convinces the readers of the murderers’—or at least one murderer’s—innocence. And he does so because one of them is so compelling, so sweet and doe-eyed, that he could not possibly have murdered anyone. The way that the book portrays the crimes and their aftermath is certainly a staple of true crime, but even more interestingly, we get a look at the ways even the smartest people can be emotionally manipulated. In fact, we get to experience it first hand. Paid extras and 'period vehicles' needed for new Netflix series in Pittsburgh". WTAE-TV. May 16, 2016. Archived from the original on October 22, 2017 .
