About this listen

 A twenty-year veteran of the FBI, Candice DeLong worked on some of the toughest hig-stakes criminal investigations of our time. As a field profiler, DeLong collected evidence at the scene of the crime to creat a specific portrait of criminals via behavioral patterns, character traits, background, etc. Special Agent is her remarkable personal 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 humor, and grace under fire.

Candice DeLong tailed terrorists and helped track the notorious Tylenol killer; she was one of three agents hand-picked to mastermind the Montana manhunt for the Unabomber; and she went undercover for major stings, sometimes in such exotic roles as a gangster's moll, and as a madam of a call-girl ringdubbed the "Candy Store." As Profiling Coordinator, she was Chicago's and until her recent retirement, San Francisco's link to the Bureau's legendary Behavioral Science Unit, spearheading investigations into the most recondite serial murders and sex crimes. Packed with fascinating details about her job, Special Agent reveals what life is like for a woman and for an agent on the front lines.©2001 Candice DeLong; (P)2001 Random House, Inc.

i found this book looking for “more candice” having heard her on Q&A and stories on podcast, and i couldn’t be less disappointed!! amazing woman, amazing experiences and a wonderful, witty turn of phrase.

i hate the “blah blah blah” “inspiring” but, truly, she has been absolutely pivotal in bettering law enforcement.

beyond words..

If you could sum up Special Agent in three words, what would they be?

Gripping Every Moment

What was one of the most memorable moments of Special Agent?

There are so many memorable moments. Candice is not only one of the pioneers for women in the FBI but also one of the pioneers of the science-art of criminal profiling. Many of the cases you have already heard about???....she was there!!

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

One tough broad!!

Any additional comments?

Don't hesitate to purchase, especially in audio. I do hope Ms DeLong gives us more material. Im kind of devastated that its finished. I listened to it in less than 24 hours and will certainly listen again in the future.
