A stunner! The best non-fiction detective book I've ever read. * Peter James * Superb - one of the best real-life cop books ever written. * Lee Child * The book is briskly paced . . . Wilber, a former Washington Post reporter, is painstaking in tracing how the detectives go about their fieldwork. The cat-and-mouse games they play with suspects in the interrogation room are fascinating. * The Washington Post * Wilber chronicles twelve homicides that occurred during February 2013 [and] employs his considerable skills to tell the stories of those investigating these violent acts . . . Wilber - who was given extraordinary access to interrogation rooms, crime scenes, and family homes - vividly depicts the tension, pressure and occasional tedium involved in crime-solving, portraying the work as both vital and unending. * The National Book Review *
