Dr Gérard Labuschange’s new book, 'Profiler Diaries', will soon be available in stores.

In this gripping book, former South African Police Service (SAPS) head profiler Dr Gérard Labuschagne, successor to the legendary Micki Pistorius, recalls some of the 110 murders and countless other bizarre crimes he analysed during his career. 

From cases of cannibalism, terrorism, murder, and rape to paedophilia, Labuschagne saw it all in his fourteen and a half years at the SAPS. 

He walks the reader through the first crime scene he ever attended, his arrest of the Muldersdrift serial rapist, his experience as the head of the task team mandated to catch the Quarry serial murderer, his involvement with the Oscar Pistorius case, and many more. 

'Profiler Diaries' is a fascinating glimpse into what it was like to be a profiler in the world’s busiest profiling unit.

On Breakfast with Martin Bester, he spoke about his new book and also shared stories from his experience as a crime profiler in South Africa.
