#1 "Jump Cut" by Max Allan Collins

  • Release Date: November 6th, 2007

Criminal Minds Jump CutSummary:
"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

  • Release Date: May 6th, 2008

Criminal Minds Novels - Criminal Minds WikiSummary:
"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."

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…

A few months back I went downtown to buy the three books. And I read them all within three days =)
And out of all the books, I really really truely love Killer Profile, although the idea for Finishing School and Jump Cut was ingenious I found KP gives you an idea of true crime, and history of serial killers. And of course, Allan Max Collins is brillant at making an equal balance of mentioning each one of the Special Agents =)
I truely hope he soon decides to work on an other Criminal Minds Novel =D
