Former Detective Chief Inspector Gary Jubelin recounts a thirty-four-year career investigating some of Australia's most confronting crimes. He revisits serial killings, child abductions, organised crime, domestic murder and major cases including William Tyrrell's disappearance, the Bowraville killings, the Lindt Cafe siege and the death of Caroline Byrne. Alongside the mechanics of homicide investigation, Jubelin examines why he allowed cases to become personal and what that commitment cost him. The result is a true-crime memoir about justice, victims, professional obsession and the lasting psychological impact of repeatedly confronting violence and loss.
