About this listen

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.

as a huge fan of Billy's work I knew I'd enjoy this even though I was already familiar with all the cases covered and I was not disappointed. I cried and cheered along and was moved many times. Billy has a great heart and a true passion for solving murders, especially those the media and often law enforcement seem not to care about. of you ever wanted to become an armchair detective you should start here, it will give you an insight into the dedication, time, frustration and financial cost of doing this. thank you Billy for all you do

perfectly written, wonderfully captivating

A fascinating insight into a truly unique career and life, pursued with passion, integrity and a genuine quest for justice. Narrated by the author, this is a really powerful 'true crime' tome that reminds us why justice is so important and why we should/how we could help in this pursuit. A touching tribute to the late Michelle McNamara, a credit to the author and his work.

Incredible, insightful and heart-felt

This will bring out your inner sleuth! It feels like a spiritual sequel to Michelle McNamara's I'll Be Gone In The Dark for obvious reasons. Billy mixes his wonderful personal stories, the gritty reality of crime and his ingenious way of solving crimes through social media.

This book gripped me and I listened to it non-stop. Highly recommended

Really Brilliant!

I’ve listened to a few of Billy Jensen’s podcasts with Paul Holes and really liked him and what he stood for. I thought I’d give the book ago because I wanted to know more about why he did what he does.

This book is fascinating and brilliantly read. I don’t think anyone else could do it justice because you can hear the honesty and passion in his voice.

It is a brilliant book, highly recommend
