Serial Killers and Sadistic Murderers - Up Close and Personal
Foreword by Robert K. Ressler, FBI (ret.), Founder and Former Director of the Violent Criminal Apprehension Program After twenty-five years of investigating, analyzing, and interviewing serial killers, their family members, neighbors, and even surviving victims, Jack Levin has become one of the world's most respected experts on the motivations and modus operandi of dangerous criminals. In this gripping book, he taps his wealth of experience with the criminal mind to offer lessons for law enforcement and the general public about how serial killers think, as well as the conditions under which hideous murders typically occur. These lessons, he hopes, will lead to more effective ways to thwart such crimes in the future. Levin's face-to-face meetings and correspondence with such notorious murderers as the Hillside strangler (Kenneth Bianchi) and Orville Lynn Majors (the male nurse who was convicted of killing numerous patients in his charge) reveal that these types of killers are not motivated by money, revenge, or rage. In fact, the only motivation seems to be a sadistic craving for power and a need to feel in control. Levin also, for the first time, lets down his guard and reveals what it feels like to be seated so close to such cold-blooded killers. Many killers, as Levin points out, are meticulous planners. Levin has found that even in situations that appear spontaneous, for instance a workplace shooting by a disgruntled employee, the deed is carefully thought out and prepared for in advance. Another factor that consistently emerges in conversations with killers who have committed the most heinous of acts is the total absence of remorse or any notion of moral responsibility. Murder appears to be easy for these criminals and they kill with a feeling of complete impunity. Levin also notes the skillfully deceptive facades that such murderers are able to affect. They are extremely adept liars (he admits to having been fooled!), who enjoy playing mind games, even though outwardly they seem above suspicion. This is one reason they are so dangerous and difficult for investigators to track down and prosecute. This chilling glimpse into the minds of some of the worst criminals makes a valuable contribution to criminology and is a must-read for both true-crime buffs and law enforcement professionals..

Destiny's Damned
What if there was a great conspiracy to enslave the world by manipulating and promoting a religion as the way to do it? Already damned for the evils he committed in past lives, a sadistic killer continues his murderous ways. When he is reincarnated, he morphs into evil itself and joins forces with the church. Within the exciting genre that makes best seller lists, DESTINY S DAMNED is a searing thriller, a trilogy of consummate evil where evil manifests itself within the mind, heart and soul of a vicious, sadistic, serial killer and within the church that protects him. Because of its breadth and depth, Destiny's Damned is a Thriller You'll Remember Forever. Told not only from the vicious killer's perspective but from his victims, Destiny's Damned, the first book of the trilogy, is psychologically terrifying, depicting evil in its most base forms. Bizarre, ritualistic murders are being committed in the heart of San Francisco. Eric Caldwell s finger is cut off at the first joint. His skull is crushed by a sledge and a mysterious relief stamped between his eyes. One at a time, a cruel, compulsive killer imprisons women in a box deep within a crawl space, tortures, dehumanizes them, then sends them to God. This vicious killer knows God damned him many lifetimes ago and that his destiny is hell. His only hope to avoid that destiny is the promise of salvation through Jesus Christ's crucifixion. However, as evidence mounts that the New Testament was altered by pagans and there was no crucifixion, the killer appoints himself God's ally, ritualistically murdering those who are bringing that evidence to light. Troubled and alone, dangerous to himself and possibly others, Monsignor Patrick Bodowski is hunted by the Church with orders to kill. Book 2 of the Trilogy, SATAN S SCAT, will be released November 1, 2007..
