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 story

I defy anyone not to be moved by this book

Reviewed in Australia on 23 August 2020

Verified Purchase

Part personal memoir, part criminal history, part indictment on our justice system - this book is a compelling read.
The personal sacrifice and bravery shine through and I came away with a profound respect for the men and women who give their lives to serve the community.
This is very well written, at times humorous, moving and thrilling.

For anyone with an interest in true crime, wanting to know what motivates these detectives to solve the most brutal of murders, this is compulsory reading.
I defy anyone not to be moved by the story of Gary Jubelin’s life.

Gripping true stories by a tough and respected detective

Reviewed in Australia on 21 November 2020

Verified Purchase

Well written story about one of Australia’s heroes. It is fast paced, clearly explains critical detail, and covers the murders that received considerable media reporting in NSW in the past two decades. I came away from the book with immense admiration for the tough job of detectives and the need for communities to support our police force. Gary is tough and forthright and he reveals the softer side of his nature. He reminds me of Shakespeare’s Coriolanus - a dark and driven character with a noble purpose. This is the best non fiction book I’ve read for several years.

Fascinating read of a real detective

Reviewed in Australia on 6 December 2020

Verified Purchase

Very interesting man & subject matter- especially if you’re into true crime. Hard core guy, not always successfully integrating his yin & yang. Eye opener on some procedures, no real surprises in the office politics & ego driven personalities in the system. Obviously he’s had to leave some things out, but a great read.

Thought this was a good book, however, I would've like to have more details about what went on in the investigations and I didn't like the way it jumped around.
I love his Podcast, and have found out a lot of information about the cops and crims. I have also ordered a few book from people he has interviewed.

Great read

Reviewed in Australia on 16 September 2020

As a big fan of Gary's podcast, I felt that I knew him better by his revelations about himself in the book. It details what our detectives have to cope with when dealing with horrendous crimes, as well as the crimes itself and is a great insight into 'how to catch killers'.

A Determined Police Officer

Reviewed in Australia on 8 October 2020

A really great read. He had more trouble with fellow officers, both senior and junior than you would expect. I am not surprised as it happens in Police Forces around the world. Despite what happened to him at the, he really did good.

STRANGER THAN FICTION

Reviewed in Australia on 29 September 2020

Verified Purchase

An interesting insight to an interesting career a thoroughly intriguing read for a very casual reader. Even to hear his appeal against his fine has been upheld a disappointing end to a dedicated battle..I believe in the death sentence for child molesters, pedophiles and killers where there is no doubt whatsoever. He deserved a medal not a conviction

Brilliant Book

Reviewed in Australia on 18 September 2020

Verified Purchase

I liked the pure honesty of it. And I totally agree with him. He will be a great loss to the Police Force if they completely cut him out, as he devoted his life to the Police Force at the expense of his family life.
Hopefully the outcome today will be in his favour, however he does have a huge part of NSW backing him.

What a great read. Thank you Gary.

The NSW Police should be held accountable for what they have done to you - unbelievable!!!
Well, their loss which is very sad for the likes of The Bowraville children and William Tyrell.
Good luck with the next chapter of your life and thanks for your great work.
