Upon graduating from the FBI academy, newly minted Special Agent James “Fitz” Fitzgerald heads to his first office - New York City. Once there, Fitz is immediately assigned to the highly-respected bank robbery squad. The investigations begin. Before long, he’s involved in the arrest of serial killers, murderers, robbers, kidnappers, extortionists, and pedophiles (including a fellow FBI agent), all on his way to a promotion to Quantico to the profiling unit. Fitz’s first assignment as a profiler is to the Unabom task force in San Francisco.

In this book I start with the Atlanta Olympics bombing; then discuss the FBI agent/Russian spy working alongside of me at Quantico; then the JonBenet Ramsey case, or at least one very interesting aspect of it; the abortion doc assassin; the TV lawyer/pundit who almost got me fired (even if unintendedly); the murders of two Dartmouth College professors; 9/11; the anthrax case; the DC sniper case; my time in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; oh, multiple profiling and/or forensic linguistic cases in which I provided expert testimony; and the ongoing evolution of the FBI's Profiling Unit.
