"He had probably been watching her for a while.We aren't sure--but what we do know is that she was not his first victim." (from the first line)
"Because of my sustained look at violence, because I have predicted the behavior of murderers, stalkers, would-be assassins, rejected boyfriends, estranged husbands, angry former employees, mass killers, and others, I am called an expert. I may have learned many lessons, but my basic premise in these pages is that you too are an expert at predicting violent behavior. Like every creature, you can know when you are in the presence of danger. You have the gift of a brilliant internal guardian that stands ready to warn you of hazards and guide you through risky situations."
| A personal security expert and behavioral consultant discusses the dangerous situations individuals may face, explains how to use the power of intuition to identify and avoid danger, and shares advice on restraining orders, self-defense tactics, and more.

Annotation:
High-priced security consultant Gavin De Becker advises movie stars and government agencies on "the prediction and management of violence." Here he provides his own experience-derived guide to the telltale signs of serious threat. Arguing that our own intuitive power to sense danger is diminished by the human propensity for denial, De Becker's purpose is twofold: to alert his neighbors to the existence of real dangers, and to equip them with useful guidelines for recognizing and managing potentially violent situations.
