Joe's Law
Author: Joe Arpaio
For the past sixteen years, Joe Arpaio has remained one of the most popular elected officials in America. Known as "America's Toughest Sheriff," his controversial, innovative, and often shocking methods have made him a renowned figure, not only in this country, but around the world. To his detractors, he is an iron-fisted force to be reckoned with. To his legions of supporters, however, he is a hero, both for his toughness on crime and criminals and his humane programs for rehabilitating inmates.
In Joe's Law, Sheriff Joe unveils his manifesto for tackling one of our country's most pressing issues: illegal immigration. Here he reveals the lessons he has learned about fighting crime and illegal activity of all sorts, from illegal immigration, to drug trafficking, to terrorism. With candor and insight, the Sheriff recounts his 32-year career as a special agent for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, where he rose to the top ranks of U.S. law enforcement, working undercover in some of the world's most dangerous places: in the Middle East, Turkey, Mexico, and Central and South America. Now, Sheriff Joe uses his remarkable experience to address and solve the problems that threaten to jeopardize both our country and our reputation around the world.
Timely and topical, Joe's Law takes an unflinching look at one of our country's most indomitable figures-whose radical ideas may well change our country for the better.

Mindhunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit
Author: John E Douglas
During his twenty-five-year career with the Investigative Support Unit, Special Agent John Douglas became a legendary figure in law enforcement, pursuing some of the most notorious and sadistic serial killers of our time: the man who hunted prostitutes for sport in the woods of Alaska, the Atlanta child murderer, and Seattle's Green River killer, the case that nearly cost Douglas his life. As the model for Jack Crawford in The Silence of the Lambs, Douglas has confronted, interviewed, adn studied scores of serial killers and assassins, including Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, and Ed Gein, who dressed himself in his victims' peeled skin. Now, in chilling detail, the legendary Mindhunter takes us behind the scenes of some of his most gruesome, fascinating, and challenging cases -- and into the darkest recesses of our worst nightmares.
Publishers Weekly
One of the first to develop the specialty of "criminal-personality profiling," Douglas has written a readable, popular version of his earlier Sexual Homicide (Lexington, 1988). He discusses how FBI profilers, working from crime scene evidence, predict the type of personality who committed a serial murder. Accurate profiles-such as that of Wayne Williams, the Atlanta child killer-can help focus on likely suspects. Profiling can also suggest proactive steps for luring the culprit into contacting the police. Unfortunately, a profile is apt to "fit a lot of people." As the unsolved Green River Killer case attests, it cannot substitute for hard evidence. Although profiling has limitations not emphasized in this semiautobiographical account, Douglas is justifiably proud of its success. Recommended for true crime collections.

Douglas…is one heck of a storyteller. Mindhunter is the book that will make you lock up the house, take the phone off the hook and just keep reading. You won't be able to put it down.
