Through her work, she and her BSU colleagues crossed paths with Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Edmund Kemper, Aileen Wuornos, and hundreds of other murderers; were also at the Branch Davidian Compound in Waco and traced the Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh's tracks; and, in the wake of 9\/11, headed up a new and expanded FBI headquarters in Las Vegas. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut to the people who know her best, Monroe is the BSU analyst upon whom the film character of Clarice (Jodie Foster) in \u003ci\u003eThe Silence of the Lambs\u003c\/i\u003e was modeled; she even helped train Foster for the role. Over the course of an utterly astonishing and, until now, relatively anonymous career in shaping law enforcement and intelligence analysis, her legacy is without parallel yet not known to the public. \u003ci\u003eHearts of Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e is Monroe's incredible story and will have Monroe--now retired from the FBI-- finally stepping out from the shadows to tell the range of gripping, sometimes gruesome, and always remarkable tales from the top moments of a life chasing the monsters among us. Within its pages, Monroe offers insight into the cases that have stayed with her most--from the infamous to lesser-known ones that readers will be introduced to for the first time in the book--offering new insight into the minds of some of the world's most infamous and terrifying serial killers, as well as the psychological impact her work had on her day-to-day life. \u003ci\u003eHearts of Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e will shock, enthrall, educate, and examine both extremes of human behavior--good and evil--as well as the daily norm found in the middle of this spectrum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Abrams Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781419766121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.35d","brand":"Jana Monroe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44589941522613,"sku":"9781419766121","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_9725d30d-70a6-4b51-baaf-2a33db9e31e9.jpg?v=1724734233","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/hearts-of-darkness-serial-killers-the-behavioral-science-unit-and-my-life-as-a-woman-in-the-fbi-9781419766121","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
