Chase Darkness with Me

How One True Crime Writer Started Solving Murders

By: Billy Jensen, Karen Kilgariff - foreword

Narrated by: Karen Kilgariff, Billy Jensen

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.

If you love true crime, you will love Jensen’s story. Masterfully told, it paints a vivid picture of the roller coaster ride of a citizen detective.

Wonderful, delightful, and extremely insightful

I thought I was reading a book about finding murderers, but it was so much more. Yes, it was about finding murderers but what touched me was the personal story behind Billy and the insight into why he is who he is. I didn’t expect to connect so much to him but the little things that are so perfectly sprinkled in, like Disney and Harry Potter, really lets you get to know him. What truly made this book moving was the picture he paints of his dad. He’s my favorite part. For a murder book this book ended up making me happier than I’d expect. This story flows really well. It’s written and voiced wonderfully.

Incredible.

I loved this book. I didn’t want Billy’s stories to end. The book itself is superb, but the hard work he’s put into proactively obtaining justice for these victims’ families is awesome. This was inspiring and I truly hope we all can work together even more so now to help solve these cases. Great book, Jensen!

A true crime book with a call to action!

Billy Jensen is Emo punk meets Sherlock Holmes and I love it! Billy is an inspiration to true crime enthusiasts and arm chair detectives. His book ends with clear rules and guidelines on how you too can help solve unsolved murders. I have already recommended this book to all of my fellow Murderinos and you should read it too!
