Special Agent Candice DeLong's twenty-year career in the FBI has seen her working on some of the toughest, high-stakes criminal investigations in the USA. She was one of only three agents hand-picked to carry out the manhunt for the Unabomber in Montana; she has trailed terrorists and helped track some of America's most notorious killers; and she has gone undercover for major stings, sometimes in such exotic roles as a gangster's moll and as the madam of a call-girl ring.
As Profiling Coordinator she had a key role at the Bureau's legendary Behavioral Science Unit, spearheading investigations into the most recondite serial murders and sex crimes. She has also had to battle to gain respect in what is still a highly male-dominated world.
'Special Agent' is Candice's extraordinary and unique story - of drama and danger on the front lines of law enforcement, of the art and science of criminal profiling, and of the challenge of maintaining courage, wise-cracking humour and grace under fire. It is the first career memoir ever to be written by a female Special Agent of the FBI.
Candice's fictional counterpart, Clarice Starling in the Hannibal Lecter novels, is now an icon of popular culture. These extraordinarily compelling, dramatic, and at times funny career memoirs prove that truth can be even more thrilling than fiction.
