Resumen del Editor

Lindsey always knew she wanted to be a detective. Her inspiration came after reading about the murders committed by Ted Bundy, who grew up in her hometown of Tacoma, Washington. Also seared into her memory was the 1986 murder of a young girl who'd been out for a bike ride when she went missing. The teen was later found murdered, but the case was never solved. The senseless killing of an innocent young girl would leave a black cloud over Tacoma for three decades.

Lindsey's twenty-one-year law enforcement career was motivated by the horrifying crimes against young women and girls that impacted her and ignited her pursuit of justice for victims.

Take a walk in her shoes as Detective Wade investigates some of the most shocking sex crimes and homicides in the Tacoma area.

Her unique perspective as a biracial female detective working in a male dominated profession gave Lindsey a special connection to the victims and families she helped.

In 2018, dogged determination along with her unwavering passion for solving cold cases ultimately led Detective Wade and her team to solve the thirty-two-year-old mystery of who killed the girl from 1986.

A must read for those who grew up in Tacoma

this was a great book. as a Tacoma native it was interesting to hear about local cases- not just Bundy or Ridgeway

Great police work

I love Lindsey, I’ve heard her stories on “Small Town Dics” the podcast and she is an amazing person/policewoman. The follow up she does is a true testament of what a true detective is really supposed to be and always follow.

Excellent Book !

This book was very good. I liked the way the writer talks to her audience.
Her experiences show the sensitivity she has when dealing with hard situations.
Good read!

The narrator

She was really distracting. She had a planned cadence whether the subject warranted it or not. Over pronounced s at the end of sentences. I think I would have liked it more had the author read it.

Inspiring

So inspiring and love the last chapter. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and loved hearing how she played apart in each case and brought attention to so many that I was unaware of.

Interesting story but narrator is distracting

I liked this over all but I concur with others that the breathy voice of the narrator, planned cadence and over pronounced s at the end of sentences is quite annoying and distracting as others have mentioned. That being said, It is an interesting account of the authors life and career.

Excellent delivery looking forward to her next book

The author writes of many cases
She leaves you confused or trying to connect dots.
However, she leaves me in anticipation, hoping for another book. John Tannehill

Fabulous detective!

This book was interesting from page one to the last page! I loved the perspective of a biracial female detective over decades of times…will wait a while and reread it again! Loved It!

LOVED IT!! So impressed🥰

I consider myself an aficionado of true crime and never pass up an opportunity to ‘read’ about cold cases in particular. Lindsey’s account of her career is very impressive. She was obviously a formidable homicide detective with a true passion for victims and their families. Thank you for your service. TPD and victims families were lucky to have you fight for them.

Excellent but difficult

This book was hard on many levels but it was done very well with integrity, honesty and a commitment to the truth. I was sickened by the crimes committed but there is redemption in knowing Lindsey has taken many criminals off the streets and provided ways for future justice to be served across the country. I applaud her service and I am grateful to hear her story. Well done!
