Fascinating account of the 17 year hunt for the Mad Bomber of New York and the inception of criminal profiling, which led police to an arrest. The bomber, known to newspapers as F. P., left pipe bombs in phone booths, lockers and inside plush seats of movie theaters from 1941 until he was arrested in 1957. The book follows the timeline of the bomber and the involvement of psychiatrist Dr. James Brussel, who was able to give police a detailed profile of the bomber, down to the type of jacket he would be wearing when arrested. (Dr. Brussel went on to assist the police and give detailed profiles of other criminals, including the Boston Strangler, profiles which narrowed suspect pools and aided investigations) It further follows the bomber after he was found to be mentally incompetent and sent to a forensic psychiatric facility. The book is smartly read by Peter Berkrot and is recommended. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
