Written with Mark Olshaker, the coauthor of Douglas's previous books and an acclaimed novelist, journalist, and filmmaker, OBSESSION is vital reading for anyone seeking to understand and prevent violent crime. In OBSESSION, Douglas once again takes us fascinatingly behind the scenes, focusing his expertise on predatory crimes, primarily against women. With a deep sense of compassion for the victims and an uncanny understanding of the perpetrators, Douglas looks at the obsessions that lead to rape, stalking, and sexual murder through such cases as Ronnie Shelton, the serial rapist who terrorized Cleveland; Joseph Thompson, New Zealand's South Auckland rapist; the stalking and killing of television star Rebecca Schaeffer; and New York's notorious "Preppie Murder." He plumbs the minds and motives of those who commit these terrifying and seemingly inexplicable offenses, using as examples his study of Ed Gein, Gary Heidnick, and Ted Bundy, the three obsessional killers who made up the composite character of "Buffalo Bill" in THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. (Douglas himself was the model for Special Agent Jack Crawford.)
Review:"...OBSESSION is a high-caliber true crime read that touches on the most volatile area of prevention in dealing with stalking and other types of obsessive psycho-sexual behavior--as if one could actually prevent an attack from a serial-killing psychopath. If one could however, one feels that one would want to rely on the help and experience of Douglas to do it."
Gary S. Kadet, Boston Book Review, March 1999
Review:"Douglas is much better at the beginning, when he discusses a little-known killer who seems to have been the basis for Francis Dolarhyde in RED DRAGON (Thomas Harris fans, take note). Douglas's profile of this stalker and killer is illuminating, unlike too much of this book, which is merely titillating."
Kirkus, 1/15/1998
