Synopsis
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.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: ""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.""
Industry Reviews
"....de Becker offers a sometimes startling mixture of autobiography, anecdote, and detailed, even scholarly, examinations of the various qualities that contribute to violent situations, as well as the escalating stages that violent confrontations....His basic argument here--that all of us really do know when we are in the presence of danger....is persuasive."
