Since Book Depository is closing down, I might suggest OpenTrolley as the alternative for people around SEA (especially Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore). The price could be a bit more expensive than Book Depository but the shipping fee is rather cheap so far (I’m from Indonesia)

#or go to periplus if you’re from indonesia… that’s probably my first option #some also suggested blackwells… i’ve never use it before but i think that’s one of the best option #ALSO AMAZON COULD ROT IN HELL #book depository #opentrolley

I will Find You: Solving Killer Cases from My Life Fighting Crime

by Joe Kenda Genre: True Crime Published: 2018 Ratings: 5/5

“If you kill, I will find you.” — Lieutenant Joe Kenda (Homicide Hunter)

I confessed that I am a die-hard fan of Homicide Hunter. I am addicted to the show and I must have my daily dose of crime stories narrated by Lieutenant Joe Kenda (Lt Kenda). Homicide Hunter is an American crime documentary television series produced by Investigation Discovery and airs on various cable channels worldwide.

I used to watch the show on Fox Asia until it stopped airing after Season 4. Fortunately, I am still able to catch the series on YouTube until Season 9. Therefore, I am grateful to kind-hearted YouTubers for taking the trouble to upload each episode on a weekly basis and sharing the same passion for crime shows.

Lt Kenda is a retired detective who had served the Colorado Springs Police Department for 25 years. His notable achievements include solving 92 percent out of the 387 homicide cases assigned to him and his unit. At the time of his retirement in 1996, he was the Commander of the Major Crimes Unit.

Lt Kenda is a straight talker. When he recalled his past cases, his tone was impassive, but he would focus his gaze on the camera. Neither did he embellish nor exaggerate the stories. He stuck to the facts and explained the consequences of committing heinous crimes. His expressionless method of telling his stories became his signature style, that show fans took notice and created numerous memes based on his deadpan humour.

As Lt Kenda’s popularity rose, many Homicide Hunter fans and social media followers kept requesting for more cases to be featured on the show. Unfortunately, some cases were not meant for television. To not disappoint his fans, Lt Kenda teamed up with a book publisher to feature sensitive cases in his very own memoir titled I Will Find You: Solving Killer Cases from My Life Fighting Crime. The memoir served as an extension to the show for fans who wanted to know Lt Kenda personally and read up on how these cases were being handled by his dedicated homicide team.

The memoir documented Lt Kenda’s police career from the beginning to his retirement. It was fascinating to know that Mrs Kenda’s ultimatum was one of the major factors that made Lt Kenda move his family to Colorado after accepting the job offer to become a police officer. He even shared his mistakes and family issues that happened during his rookie days.

In addition to chasing felons, there were other circumstances that worn down every police officer. Sleep deprivation, stress, and time away from families were all part and parcel of being a member of the homicide team. Lt Kenda might be known as the no-nonsense police officer, but he also stressed the importance of spending time with his children and how certain cases affected him as a parent.

A few of the cases have been featured on the show, but the memoir provides further elaboration of Lt Kenda’s insightful opinions. I will Find You: Solving Killer Cases from My Life Fighting Crime is available for purchase at OpenTrolley Bookstore. OpenTrolley Bookstore is having a book sale until 31st March, shop now.
