Synopsis: From the woman who wrote the law on stalking comes the story of the chilling experiences that shaped her career.
Stalking is among the most ancient, common, and widely-discussed of all anti-social behaviors, yet this dangerous behavior is underappreciated as a serious problem.
Anyone can be a stalker, and anyone can be a stalking victim—especially today with so much personal information readily available online. Prosecutor Rhonda B. Saunders has made a career of battling this form of attack. She has prosecuted on behalf of celebrities, including Madonna, Steven Spielberg, and Gwyneth Paltrow, as well as countless ordinary individuals chose, for whatever reason, as prey. Now Saunders shares the pivotal stories from her career, how she developed the legal weapons to fight stalking, and offers powerful insight into the minds and habits of stalkers, as well as how anyone can protect against them.
“[A] fascinating and authoritative inside look at the legal and psychological aspects of this frightening phenomenon.”—New York Times bestselling author Vincent Bugliosi
“Saunders . . . engrossingly explores the menacing crime of stalking . . . Readers will be intrigued.”—Publishers Weekly
