Publisher's Summary

Have you ever wanted to solve a murder? Gather the clues the police overlooked. Put together the pieces. Identify the suspect.

Journalist Billy Jensen spent 15 years investigating unsolved murders, fighting for the families of victims. Every story he wrote had one thing in common - it didn’t have an ending. The killer was still out there.

But after the sudden death of a friend, crime writer Michelle McNamara, Billy became fed up. Following a dark night, he came up with a plan. A plan to investigate past the point when the cops have given up. A plan to solve the murders himself.

In Chase Darkness with Me, you’ll ride shotgun as Billy 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: his friend Michelle’s pursuit of the Golden State Killer which is chronicled in I’ll Be Gone In The Dark which Billy helped finish after Michelle’s passing, and his own quest to find the murderer of the Allenstown 4 family.

And Billy gives you the tools - and the rules - to help solve murders yourself.

Gripping, complex, unforgettable, Chase Darkness with Me 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 listened to before.

With a foreword by Karen Kilgariff of My Favorite Murder.

Utterly captivating and deeply inspiring.

This book is extremely well written, I got lost in Billy's animated but steady voice, and I was moved to tears on multiple occasions. Chase Darkness With Me is captivating and interesting. Every sentence is carefully chosen for maximum impact and a tribute to the author's decades spent in journalism. It's a certainty that I'll be relistening in the future. I sincerely hope that Billy will be writing another book, this is the best read I've had since My Favourite Murder's autobiography, Stay Sexy and Don't Get Murdered which I also highly recommend.

Not what I was expecting

This was a fantastic experience.
I was hooked after the 1st chapter.
Billy Jensen has an amazing straight forward approach with this material.
The mixture of his stories, experiences/sacrifice, the basic on goings & the in-depth explanations; were gripping and made me want more.
I would recommend this book to anyone that loves/enjoys/consumes True Crime.

Wow

All I can say is wow.

For any true crime reader this is a must read. I hope that he writes a follow up book to some of cases he was working on and hadn’t solved yet. I would like to know if there’s an ending for the girls in the barrel and if Lisa ever finds out what happened to her mother.
