Criminal Minds Novels
"They're members of the Behavioral Analysis Unit, an elite team of FBI profilers tasked with examining the nation's most twisted criminal minds—and anticipating their next moves before they strike again...."
| #1 "Jump Cut" by Max Allan Collins
 Summary: "The BAU team is dispatched to Lawrence, Kansas, to investigate a series of fatal stabbings among the town's homeless population. The victims have all been found freshly bathed, neatly groomed, and wearing new clothes. To profiler Jason Gideon, these look like careful staged murders in isolated settings, fulfilling the sick fantasies of one or more Unknown Subjects. When the kidnapping of a young heiress presents a second, seemingly unrelated crime for the BAU to help solve, Gideon deduces a sinister connection, despite the variance in MOs. The kidnap victim must be found -- before she too is a player in the mind games of a pair of UnSubs who are inventing horrific new ways to kill." |
| #2 "Killer Profile" by Max Allan Collins
 Summary: "The BAU team is called in to help Chicago detectives investigate a series of bizarre murders: a couple shot to death in a parked car; two women strangled in a public park; and a young man's decomposed body stuffed in a plastic barrel. Though equally violent and disturbing, the crimes seem unrelated—until profiler David Rossi makes the connection. Rossi recognizes each grisly tableau, murders modeled on the crime scenes of three of the country's most notorious serial killers: the Son of Sam, Ted Bundy, and Jeffrey Dahmer. Someone is taking the cult of true crime to terrifying extremes...and since there are so many killers left to emulate, Rossi wonders how he can possibly profile a killer who's hiding within the killer profiles of others." |
| #3 "Finishing School" by Max Allan Collins
 Summary:The bodies of three young girls are discovered in the woods of Bemidji, Minnesota, the result of barbiturate poisoning. Unable to identify the victims, the local police turn to the Behavioral Analysis Unit. Profiler David Rossi learns that the girls disappeared more than ten years ago from Georgia. Further investigation reveals that the perpetrators have been involved in a cycle of kidnapping and murder for close to twenty years—and are about to start again… |

The bestselling author of The Forensic Science of C.S.I. examines the real-life cases behind the hit television series Criminal Minds
Week after week, the hit TV show Criminal Minds gives viewers a look inside the psyches of the fictional serial killers tracked by the BAU (Behavioral Analysis Unit). This elite team of FBI agents travels the country assisting law enforcement officials by examining the crime scene, "profiling" the perpetrator, and aiding in arrest and interrogation.

Quite frankly, I'm shocked that no one has posted anything @ all regarding the new "C.M." Official Companion Book that WILEY Press released @ the same time as CBS DVD put out the Season 5 DVD BoXset! Fully titled, "Criminal Minds ; Sociopaths, Serial Killers, & Other Deviants" by : Jeff Mariotte, this trade paperback is THE Official Companion to our beloved show! Many of my friends were reluctant to purchace b/c they thought it to be yet another encyclopedia of serial killers, etc. I'm here to tell you that this couldn't be further from the truth! The factual information on history's serials, seX offenders, & what not are ONLY presented here as they relate to episoded of 'Criminal Minds'. the book is 298 pages long, again in the 'trade paperback' format & contains over a doZen & a half awesome stills from the show itself--from all 5 years. As a matter of fact, ALL photos included are from the show & NONE are of real offenders! This makes it that much more wonderful as the show's Companion. I, myself, was a bit on the skeptical side upon buying this. However, when I saw that all photos were from the CBS Show, my guard went down a bit. Then after realiZing that all of the true crime stories included are only there to show how they parralel to specific episodes, I then KNEW that this is a worthy Off. Companion to 'Criminal Minds'. & that NO FAN should/MUST be w/out this Volume.

Jump Cut has a quite funny part, or at least I thought it was funny. Gideon and Prentiss were interviewing a young homeless woman. The homeless woman said she would only trust Gideon because `He was a good looking man` and later on she calls him handsome. and like I said before she was a young woman and Gideon was way older than her. And another part was Gideon bought her lunch and gave her 100 bucks to tell a sketch artist what a man looked like!!
