Evil That Men Do » (Reissue)

STEPHEN G. MICHAUD, a senior editor at D magazine in Dallas, has written extensively on criminal justice topics. His previous books include Lethal Shadow, a study in sexual sadism, and The Only Living Witness, an acclaimed portrait of serial killer Ted Bundy that New York Daily News listed as one of the ten best true crime books ever.

ROY HAZELWOOD spent twenty-two years in the FBI, sixteen of them as a member of the Bureau's Behavioral Science Unit. He is now associated with the Academy Group, Inc., a forensic consulting firm with clients in government, industry, and the criminal justice system. Hazelwood lives in southern Virginia with his wife, Peggy.

“Hazelwood’s authentic and unique perspective pierces a darkness

most of us would like to believe doesn’t exist.”

—Chris Carter, creator of The X-Files

Twenty-two years in the FBI. Sixteen years on the bureau’s infamous Behavioral Science Unit. Thousands of homicides, rapes, suicides, and other gruesome crimes. Roy Hazelwood, like many investigators, has seen it all. But unlike most, he’s gone further—into the dark and twisted psyches of serial killers and sadistic sexual offenders—and has emerged as one of the world’s foremost experts on the sexual criminal. When clues are scant and suspects are zero, the authorities turn to Hazelwood to help track down their man—and nearly every time, with Hazelwood’s help, they find him.

Now, acclaimed true crime writer Stephen G. Michaud takes you into the heart Hazelwood’s work through dozens of startling cases, including those of The Lonely Hearts Killer, the “Ken and Barbie” killings, the Atlanta Child Murders, and many more. Here Michaud and Hazelwood go beyond the lurid details, to a deeper understanding of the depraved minds behind the grisly crimes, in a stark, startling, and fascinating work you will not soon forget.

“This book tells it all.”

—Robert K. Ressler, bestselling author of I Have Lived in the Monster

and Whoever Fights Monsters

“Take it from me: Roy’s insights and experience prove that he is an expert

in crime analysis. The story he has to tell is well worth listening to.”

—John Douglas, New York Times bestselling author of Mindhunter
