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

Audiobook virginity lost

Today I lost my audiobook virginity to crime journalist Billy Jensen's latest book 'Chase darkness with me'. Like every first time I was apprehensive and had no idea what to expect. Would I get the feeling of uncontrollable lust and not be able to stop? Would it be over too fast? Would I find it boring having one persons voice droning on in my ear holes for a long period of time?
This was not the case (no pun intended).

Today I shared an intimate journey with a man on the other side of the world that I have never met. I was introduced to his family straight away (brash, I know!) and shared in some of the heartache and happiness that he has endured. I am happy to say that I am willing to make the sacrifices and take the steps I need to continue this affair into the future and I am certainly not walking away from this experience dissatisfied or feeling guilty.
Billy, you've found yourself a friend that you don't even know and I can't wait for the next x

Loved Billy narrating his own book. the info on how he undertook his pseudo detective work was detailed and super interesting. The emotion for Michelle came through. just enjoyed listening.

Great listen

Great book, Billy’s passion for solving crimes and his friendship with Michelle McNamara, Paul Haynes, Paul Holes and other crime fighting figures is inspiring. A wonderful tale of a life’s mission created by sheer determination.
