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.

I never feel compelled to write reviews, but this book is incredible. Both Billy Jenson and Karen Kilgariff (who wrote and reads the foreword) have such compelling and emotive voices, and you can tell that this is something that took a lot of love and care to create.
I’ve been a fan of Billy’s work for a while, but this book gives such a thrilling overview of his life and work, it’s a must listen for any true crime fan. Listen to this and then try and tell me that you don’t want to go into the darkness and root out the monsters with him. I bet you can’t.

Billy Jenson is a true modern hero

Ever since I heard of Billy Jensen, I have been glued to every word he says and this book has only strengthened that practise. An everyday humble hero, his story is inspiring and heartbreaking all at once. I hope 'Chase Darkness With Me' helps the ever growing backlog of cold cases and I look forward to reading/hearing his future work.

Powerful and gripping - Loved it.

I'm new to crime and thriller entertainment. i read The Golden State Killer and absolutely loved it. This is possibly even better , or just different in that it has a lot of variation in topics due to Billy Jenson's incredible life and rare attitude. I'm hooked, and will be reading his best friend's book I'll be gone in the dark. This book is absolutely incredible, he talks of things I rarely come across- a new angle on crime and catching monsters. What a heroic man.

I knew Billy from the Murder Squad podcast, and that is what prompted me to buy this book. It is absolutely incredible and you will not be disappointed. The narration / performances by both billy an Karen are fab. Didn’t want to put it down and had finished it in a matter of days. If you’re a lover of true crime, and what Billy stands for, you will love this book even more. Okay, speak soon, I’m off to become a citizen sleuth.
