Forse anche perché, a differenza dei loro colleghi italiani, Oriana e Pier Paolo si muovono con agio sullo scenario internazionale.

A woman disappears on her way to work. A man is convicted of her murder. But this case is different.

Con la sua prosa intensa e incalzante, Stefano Nazzi ripercorre quei decenni bui, portandoci nelle menti di alcuni dei più spaventosi serial killer americani. Accanto a loro, ci sono le storie delle donne e degli uomini che li hanno inseguiti, studiati, catalogati. Negli scantinati di Quantico, due agenti dell'FBI, Robert Ressler e John Douglas, iniziarono ad analizzare i profili degli assassini seriali e poi a parlare con loro. Da quelle conversazioni nacque il profiling, l'idea che dietro l'apparente caos ci fosse un metodo e che dunque si potessero prevedere azioni imprevedibili.
