Description
Blackstone Publishing is thrilled to announce the forthcoming release of KILLER TRIGGERS [Blackstone Publishing; March 9, 2021; hardcover, e-book, audiobook] by Joe Kenda, star of Investigation Discovery’s Homicide Hunter.
In his riveting new book, Joe Kenda offers his memories of homicide cases he investigated or oversaw and uncovers the most common triggers for homicide: fear, rage, revenge, money, lust, and, more rarely, sheer madness.
In each case, Joe Kenda examines the trigger that led to death. He chose this theme for the book because even though the why of a murder case may not be critical in an investigation, it can sometimes lead us to the killer.
And even if we solve a case without knowing the trigger, the why still intrigues us, disrupting our dreams and lingering in our minds, perhaps because each of us fears the demons that lie within our own psyche—the triggers waiting to be pulled.
A Note From the Publisher
Lt. Joe Kenda, a twenty-three-year veteran of the Colorado Springs Police Department, spent twenty-one years chasing killers as a homicide detective and commander of the major crimes unit. Kenda and his team solved 356 of his 387 homicide cases, getting a 92 percent solve rate-one of the highest in the country. After retiring from law enforcement, he starred in Homicide Hunter: Lt. Joe Kenda, an American true-crime documentary series that ran for nine seasons on the Investigation Discovery network and averaged more than 1.9 million viewers in 69 countries and territories worldwide. In 2021, he will host a new television crime series on Investigation Discovery.
