Killer Profile

Killer Profile is a Criminal Minds novel by Max Allen 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.
