An excellent look into the world of a homicide detective. The author was a 30 year veteran with the Dayton (OH) Police Department. His story is a no-holds barred journey into the depths of murder investigation. The writing is so good that you can practically smell and taste the blood, and easily visualize the scenes he presents.
