Cold Case Cleanup

In Cold Case Cleanup: Volume 2, the investigation goes global. This second collection of original essays reopens 20 of the world's most confounding unsolved cases-ranging from media sensations to forgotten local tragedies-and strips away the noise, disinformation, and superstition to find the human truth beneath.

Was the Isdal Woman a freelance spy discarded by her clients?
Did Bernard Laroche kill little Grégory Villemin at his wife's direction?
Did British intelligence murder Gareth Williams inside a safe house, then pose it as kink?

With forensic insight and psychological clarity, these essays cut through decades of rumor, misdirection, and institutional silence. There are no easy villains, no conspiracy walls-just bold, unsentimental logic applied to cases long dismissed as unsolvable.

This volume spans multiple continents and generations, from Scandinavia to South Korea, France to Appalachia. But what unites them all is the author's refusal to flinch, flatter, or fabricate. Every theory is original. Every motive plausible. Every conclusion earned.

If you've ever thought, "This case never made sense to me," you'll find closure here.
