It seems like we each have very different tastes when it comes to the books we read, the shows we watch, or the podcasts to which we listen. But media consumption studies reveal that most of us have at least one thing in common: we love a good whodunnit story. It may be the challenge: Can we follow the clues investigators come across, identifying and stopping the criminal before they strike again?
I understand this fascination, this race against the clock, because in the early part of my career, I led investigative teams at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and served on one of the nation’s first Joint Terrorism Task Forces.
