About the author:
Billy Jensen has solved more than a half dozen homicides and helped find missing persons. Law enforcement agencies reach out to him to help in cases that have them stumped, using him as a “consulting detective.” The New York native has written crime stories for Rolling Stone, Los Angeles Magazine, Boston Magazine, and Miami New Times, was managing editor of the Long Island Press and a crime stringer for the New York Times. After his friend Michelle McNamara suddenly passed away, he and her researcher helped finish her book I’ll Be Gone in the Dark about the hunt for the Golden State Killer, which became a NYT #1 bestseller. Jensen’s own true crime memoir, Chase Darkness with Me, was a NYT bestseller. He was featured heavily in the HBO docuseries I’ll Be Gone in the Dark and produces and stars in the Discovery+ series Unraveled. He is co-host of the podcasts The First Degree and Jensen and Holes: The Murder Squad.
In Killers Amidst Killers, readers will ride shotgun with Jensen as he takes on serial killers who are walking among us and planning their next moves in real time. The facts are not in old police reports and faded photos. They unfold before our eyes on the page. Our story begins in 2017, when two young women, best friends Danielle and Lindsey go missing in Columbus, Ohio, within weeks of each other, and their bodies are found soon thereafter.
As Jensen investigates Danielle and Lindsey’s cases, he comes across other missing and murdered women, and before long, he uncovers eighteen of them. All unsolved. And no one was talking about it. Jensen hunts these predators to bring peace to the victims’ suffering families while putting a spotlight on a system that is leaving hundreds of thousands of bodies in its wake.
