Description
Cloyd Steiger worked the streets of Seattle as a Homicide Detective for 22 years of his 36 year career. During that time he worked some of the most notorious murders there, from serial murderers, domestic terrorists, psychotic killers and many senseless killings committed little or no reason.
In his true crime memoir, Homicide: The View from Inside the Yellow Tape, he describes some of the most interesting murders he's worked on.
Sometimes shocking, often inane, and even funny, it's a view you won't see on the evening news. You'll feel like your right alongside Steiger, working the cases, getting a peek inside the yellow tape, and inside the interrogation room, where you'll come face to face with pure evil and experience what it's like to investigate murder.
Advance Praise
"Set aside Christie and Jance; this is real homicide investigation, and it ain't pretty. The writing style is unusual but works perfectly for author Cloyd Steiger, who demonstrates his considerable competence and experience as an investigator and interrogator. When his sense of humor makes a rare stage appearance, it's sure to be sardonic. Since the book is about tracking down homicide suspects, that's to be expected. But as one who worked around him for more than a decade, I can assure you that when he's not in hot pursuit of a killer, he is one of the funniest people you could meet. I cannot recall a conversation I had with him in which I was not laughing out loud within ten minutes. Reading this book will be a good investment of your time. And should you happen to have any homicidal inclinations, now would be the time to rethink them; he may be retired but he's still in the biz."

"I LOVE this book. Recommended for anyone who loves Lt . Joe Kenda type attitude. Lots of cases. Really great 👍"
"This is a great book! The writing style makes me feel like I’m working alongside Detective Steiger. He has literally seen hell on earth and brought many evil people forward to pay for their evil deeds. Thank you for your service Detective, and thank you for sharing your stories!"
