Product Information
Serial killings, child abductions, organised crime hits and domestic murders. This is the memoir of a homicide detective. Here I am: tall and broad, shaved head, had my nose broken three times fighting. Black suit, white shirt, the big city homicide detective. I've led investigations into serial killings, child abductions, organised crime hits and domestic murders. But beneath the suit, I've got an Om symbol in the shape of a Buddha tattooed on my right bicep. It balances the tattoo on my left ribs: Better to die on your feet than live on your knees. That's how I choose to live my life. As a cop, I got paid to catch killers and I learned what doing it can cost you. It cost me marriages and friendships. It cost me my reputation. They tell you not to let a case get personal, but I think it has to. Each one has taken a piece out of me and added a piece, until there's only pieces. I catch killers - it's what I do. It's who I am. Gary Jubelin was one of Australia's most celebrated detectives, leading investigations into the disappearance of preschooler William Tyrrell, the serial killing of three Aboriginal children in Bowraville and the brutal gangland murder of Terry Falconer. During his 34-year career, Detective Chief Inspector Jubelin also ran the crime scene following the Lindt Cafe siege, investigated the death of Caroline Byrne and recovered the body of Matthew Leveson. Jubelin retired from the force in 2019. This is his storyProduct Identifiers

Just an ok read.
I expected a little more from this book. It was one of those books, for me, where I had to skip pages to try and find more interesting parts further along. I did find them in some chapters but not enough to hold my full attention through the whole book. I didn’t like where the chapters kept skipping from one time period to another time period. It got a little confusing. I would rate it about a 7 out of 10.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Rivetting and Revealing
A very in depth tale of the the life - both personal and professional of a modern day police officer who works in the most highly charged areas of crime. Most of the cases that he is responsible for have been known to us over the years and his detailed and insightful narrative I found to be both revealing and riveting.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
