Between Good and Evil is Roger Depue's retrospective look at a life spent apprehending criminals - mostly serial killers - as a small-town police chief, Swat team member, Behavioural Sciences Unit chief and developer of revolutionary law enforcement programmes that were the precursor to VICAP. The book also charts a spiritual odyssey that culminated in Depue becoming a Brother of the Missionaries of the Holy Apostles. While a seminarian, he counseled maximum security inmates. Following his time in the clergy, he re-entered law enforcement and today heads up the world's most elite forensics think tank, The Academy, which was the basis for the Chris Carter-created Fox TV show Millennium.
'Mesmerizing...The story of Depue's journey is more gripping than any thriller' - Ronald Kessler, author of THE FBI and THE BUREAU
