About this audiobook
THE #1 TRUE CRIME BESTSELLER. Serial killings, child abductions, organised crime hits and domestic murders. This is the memoir of a homicide detective.
WINNER OF 2021 DANGER PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION
Here I am: tall and broad, shaved head, had my nose broken three times fighting. Black suit, white shirt, the big city homicide detective. I've led investigations into serial killings, child abductions, organised crime hits and domestic murders. But beneath the suit, I've got an Om symbol in the shape of a Buddha tattooed on my right bicep. It balances the tattoo on my left ribs: Better to die on your feet than live on your knees. That's how I choose to live my life.
As a cop, I got paid to catch killers and I learned what doing it can cost you. It cost me marriages and friendships. It cost me my reputation. They tell you not to let a case get personal, but I think it has to. Each one has taken a piece out of me and added a piece, until there's only pieces.
I catch killers - it's what I do. It's who I am.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent! What a life, decades of service, and definitely shows the arrogance that Jubelin speaks of: in this case it was the hurt arrogant egos of others that ensured his ouster. I also do not agree with his forced resignation and conviction, it was clearly exploited by those whose boats he rocked. Although most of the book focuses on his many fascinating cases, the heartbroken victims and some of the underbelly who most prefer to pretend that world doesn’t exist.
