Journalist Billy Jensen spent 15 years investigating unsolved murders, fighting for the families of victims – often using information found on social media and in other places the police don’t think to look. Every story he wrote had one thing in common: they didn’t have an ending. The killer was still out there. But after the sudden death of friend Michelle McNamara, crime writer and author of I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, Jensen became fed up. Following a dark night, he came up with a plan. A plan to investigate past the point when the cops had given up. A plan to solve the murders himself. In Jensen’s new book, you’ll ride shotgun as he identifies the Halloween Mask Murderer, finds a missing girl in the California Redwoods, and investigates the only other murder in New York City on 9/11. You’ll hear intimate details of the hunts for two of the most terrifying serial killers in history: McNamara’s pursuit of the Golden State Killer and his own quest to find the murderer of the Allenstown Four. And Jensen gives you the tools – and the rules – to help solve murders yourself. Gripping, complex, unforgettable, Chase Darkness With Me: How One True-Crime Writer Started Solving Murders (Sourcebooks) is an examination of the evil forces that walk among us, illustrating a novel way to catch those killers, and a true-crime narrative unlike any you’ve read before.
