"I want you offended--this book is written as much as possible from the point of view of the predator. You need to be offended by his thoughts. More importantly, you, average citizen, need to be able to spot those thoughts as they are forming in the mind of your creepy next-door neighbor. Or, if you are someone working a sexual homicide case, you need to be able to nail the killer sitting cheerfully opposite you in an interview room."

Work Description

While other profilers tend to conceal the clear facts behind complex technical language and psychobabble, Pat Brown actually tells it like it is. Killing for Sport will intrigue you with its honest portrayal of the predator-next-door, how he hunts for him victims, why he likes to torture them, where he tends to stash their bodies, and more. Movies such as Silence of the Lambs, Seven, American Psycho and many others have created myths about serial killers that need to be dispelled: If you think that most serial killers are eccentric, white, male intellectuals, then you had better read Killing for Sport to learn the truth. The more our society is informed about these predators and what really goes on in their minds, the more equipped we will be to protect ourselves from them. With the same dark wit that gets people who work with the criminally insane through their workday, Brown speaks frankly about the monsters among us who kill for sport.
