Candice DeLong has been called a real-life Clarice Starling and a female Donnie Brasco. She has been on the front lines of some of the FBI's most gripping and memorable cases, including being chosen as one of three agents to carry out the manhunt for the UNABOMBER in Lincoln, Montana. She has tailed terrorists, gone undercover as a gangster's moll, and posed as the madam for a call-girl ring. Now for the first time, she reveals the dangers and rewards of being a woman on the front lines of the world's most powerful law enforcement agency.

Now retired, Agent DeLong offers a "day-in-the-life" glimpse of her work as a field profiler, one of the most fascinating and challenging branches of the FBI. She traces the unusual career path that led her to crime fighting, and recounts the incredible obstacles she faced as a woman and as a fledgling agent. In her book, Ms. DeLong takes readers step by step through the profiling process and shows how she helped to solve a number of difficult, high profile cases. The story of her role as a lead investigator on the notorious Tylenol Murder case is particularly compelling. Finally, she gives the true, insider's story behind the investigation that led to the arrest of the Unabomber-including information that the media can't or won't reveal. A remarkable portrait of courage and grace under fire, Candice DeLong's talks offer a missing chapter in the annals of law enforcement and a dramatic and often funny picture of an extordinary woman who has dedicated her heart and soul to the crusade against crime.
