* Description * Alan Jacobson is the national bestselling author of several critically accled novels. In order to take readers behind the scenes to places they might never go, Jacobson has embedded himself in many federal agencies, including spending several years working with two senior profilers at the Federal Bureau of Investigation's vaunted Behavioral Analysis Unit in Quantico. During that time, Jacobson edited four published FBI research papers on serial offenders, attended numerous FBI training courses, worked with the head firearms instructor at the academy, and received ongoing personalized instruction on serial killers--which continues to this day. He has also worked with high-ranking members of the Drug Administration, the US Marshals Service, the New York Department, SWAT teams, local bomb squads, branches of the US , chief superintendents and detective sergeants at Scotland Yard, criminals, armorers, helicopter pilots, chief executive officers, historians, and Special Forces operators. These experiences have helped him to create gripping, realistic stories and characters. His series protagonist, FBI profiler Karen Vail, resonates with both female and male readers, and writers such as Nelson DeMille, James Patterson, and Michael Connelly have called Vail one of the most compelling heroes in suspense fiction. Jacobson's books have been published internationally, and several have been optioned for film and television. A number have been named to Best of the Year lists. Jacobson has been interviewed extensively on television and radio, including on CNN, NPR, and multiple ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox network affiliates.Number of Pages: 496 Genre: Fiction + Literature Genres Sub-Genre: Thrillers Series Title: Karen Vail Novels Format: Paperback Publisher: Open Road Media Mystery & Thri Book theme: Crime Author: Alan Jacobson Language: English Estimated shipping dimensions: 5.2INCH X 8.0INCH X 1.0INCH DPCI : 248-25-6472 UPC : 9781504041713 TCIN : 51568832 Estimated shippimg weight: 1.0POUND
