Praise

“At a time when people are questioning the motives and dedication of the FBI, here is a book that shows what ‘Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity’ really stands for. In the Name of the Children is an exceptionally well-written and deeply moving look at one FBI agent’s lifelong quest to find missing children and bring sexual predators to justice. No one in law enforcement has ever written with such unvarnished honesty about what it takes to bring down those who prey on kids. Jeff Rinek’s insights into the motives and modus operandi of sex offenders and his approach to getting killers like serial sex slayer Cary Stayner to confess should be mandatory reading not just for those in law enforcement but also for everyone who cares about the safety of our children. Chilling, fascinating, and groundbreaking.”

—John Douglas, FBI profiler, author of Mindhunter, The Anatomy of Motive, and Journey Into Darkness

“Retired FBI Special Agent Jeff Rinek brings us deep inside his investigations of serial killers, child murderers, and sexual predators. These riveting stories document not only the hunt for these elusive criminals but also reveal the emotional upheaval Rinek himself experienced seeing the carnage perpetrated on society’s youngest and most vulnerable victims . . . This is a must-read for anyone who follows true crime. It gave me a greater appreciation of, and respect for, law enforcement’s men and women who serve and protect us.”

—Beth Karas, former prosecutor, legal analyst, longtime truTV correspondent

“The extraordinary calling of Jeff Rinek’s life is wrestling with evil so that evil does not have the last word . . . This book is haunting in its depiction of the worst of psychopathology and conscienceless-ness, but it also brims with the hope that springs from the quest of a hero full of empathy and compassion to find answers, bring justice, and honor life. Rinek is humanity at its best.”

—Sandra L. Brown, MA, trauma therapist, author of Counseling Victims of Violence and How to Spot a Dangerous Man Before You Get Involved

“Part memoir, part true crime, In The Name of the Children, is a riveting read. This rare and candid insider’s look at crimes against children pulls back the curtain on the painstaking, often heartbreaking, process of investigating these unthinkable crimes and the damaging effects of organizational betrayal on those who are seeking justice for the victims.” 

—Ellen Kirschman, PhD, author of I Love a Cop: What Police Families Need to Know, Counseling Cops: What Clinicians Need to Know, and the Dot Meyerhoff mystery series

“A must-read for true crime fans! Jeffrey Rinek is not your typical FBI Agent. His memoir is a page-turner full of fascinating cases that he approaches from a unique empathy-based perspective. Rinek’s success in using humanity and compassion to elicit confessions from ruthless predators makes you wonder if we should rethink everything we know about interrogations.”

—Krystal Houghton Ziv, co-executive producer of CSI: Miami, The Purge, Body of Proof

“This book is not only a rare glimpse into the remarkable and dedicated work of the FBI; it is also a ringside seat into the heart and soul of a federal agent doing the most demanding work. Jeffrey Rinek’s personal story punctuates the pages and takes the reader on the journey for justice for America’s most vulnerable victims. Rinek the federal agent? I’d say federal angel.”

—Diane Dimond, journalist, former Court TV reporter, and author of Be Careful Who You Love: Inside the Michael Jackson Case
