What if you could stop waiting for justice—and start hunting killers yourself?
For fifteen years, journalist Billy Jensen wrote about unsolved murders, giving victims’ families a voice but never an ending. The killers always walked free. Then, after the sudden death of his friend and fellow true crime writer Michelle McNamara (I’ll Be Gone in the Dark), Jensen made a choice: he wouldn’t just report on cold cases anymore—he would solve them.
From unmasking a Halloween-clad murderer to tracking a missing girl through the California Redwoods, Jensen takes you deep inside the investigations the police abandoned. He reveals chilling hunts for serial killers—including McNamara’s relentless pursuit of the Golden State Killer—and shares the exact tools and rules he uses so you can join the chase yourself.
Raw, gripping, and deeply personal, Chase Darkness With Me proves that the fight for justice doesn’t have to end when the headlines do.
