St. Martin's. Near Fine. 1993. First Edition. Softcover. 0312950446 . Excellent condition - light corner wear interior pages tight and unmarked. B/w photos. 289 pages. Review Amazon: This book is an overview of the career of the FBI man who nearly single-handedly created the system for personality profiling of violent offenders. If there's a big-time multiple murderer from about 1950 until now who hasn't been interviewed by Robert Ressler he probably refused the honor. Indispensable reading for serial killer mavens and better written than John Douglas and Mark Olshaker's Mindhunter this book is packed with fascinating details from dozens of cases. 300noto ; 12mo 7" - 7�" tall .

The Bandido Massacre A True Story of Bikers Brotherhood and Betrayal
Toronto: Harper Collins. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2010. First Edition. Hardcover. 9781554680443 . HC/DJ - fine. Excellent condition looks like new clean with no markings slight edge crinkling on jacket. B/w photos; On the morning of April 8 2006 residents of the hamlet of Shedden Ontario woke up to the news that the bloodied bodies of eight bikers from the Bandidos gang had been found dead on a local farm. The massacre made headlines around the world and the shocking news brought a grim light to an otherwise quiet corner of the province. Six Bandidos would eventually be convicted of the first-degree murder of their biker brothers. Like other outlaw bikers Bandidos portray themselves as motorcycle enthusiasts who are systematically misunderstood and abused by the police as well as feared by the public. We now know the Bandidos were anything but simple motorcycle enthusiasts. However unlike such biker gangs as the Hell's Angels who run sophisticated operations the Bandidos were highly disorganized prone to petty infighting and even engaged in sabotaging fellow members. This is the story of how the Bandidos self-destructed over one dark night. As gripping as any crime novel The Bandido Massacre takes us inside a crumbling brotherhood bent on betrayal and self-obliteration. 700 . Harper Collins hardcover

Fuller Jean Overton
D�ricourt: The Chequered Spy
Salisbury U.K.: Michael Russell Publishing Ltd. 1989. First Edition First Printing. 8vo 9 1/2 inches / 240 mm viii 407 pages in publisher's original blue cloth. Foxing and a bit of soiling to top and fore edges. The dust jacket has some minor edge wear. A Very Good copy. The author Jean Overton Fuller 1915-2009 was a prolific British author who specialized in writing about real espionage cases. Here she tries to unravel the mysterious case of Henri D�ricourt 1909-1962 a French pilot who was an undercover agent for the British during World War II. D�ricourt aided the Resistance in France but was also in touch with the Germans. Indeed he was accused of having sacrificed Allied agents to the Germans. So the question arises: Was he a double agent working for the Nazis Or was he instead under the control of British Intelligence throughout the war The author who knew D�ricourt well believes he engaged in "loyal treason" meaning that he ultimately acted under British orders. Laid in to the book is a 1994 typed letter from Fuller to American author Robert S. Greene this book belonged to Greene regarding some genealogical questions Greene had posed. There are also two 2009 typed letters from Overton's executor London bookseller Timothy d'Arch Smith regarding her last year illnesses and demise. Altogether an interesting look at D�ricourt by a prolific author of nonfiction espionage books. <br/><br/> Michael Russell (Publishing) Ltd. hardcover
