Why are Scotland Yard murder detectives considered among the finest in the world? And why is so little known about how they truly work?
DI Steven Keogh spent over half of his 30-year police career as a Scotland Yard detective, helping to hunt down terrorists and some of the worst murderers in London.
Step inside the mind of an investigator in a never-before-seen look into what it takes to catch killers and bring them to justice. In a journey from crime scene to trial, you will witness the emotional highs and lows of cracking real-life murder cases and discover why people kill, while debunking the myths that surround this detective work.
Are you ready to challenge everything you thought you knew about the world of murder investigations? Steven was a police officer with London's Metropolitan Police for 30 years, with over half of that time spent as a Scotland Yard detective. Now retired from the force, his first book, Murder Investigation Team allows the reader to step inside the mind of an investigator in a never-before-seen look into what it takes to catch killers and bring them to justice. His second book, Murder Investigation Team: Jack the Ripper, is a fresh, new assessment of the unsolved Whitechapel murders, from a modern-day police expert. Steven provides consultancy to film, TV, and documentary makers, and runs a YouTube channel, Murder Academy, providing walk-through videos on a wide range of criminal topics. He regularly appears on true crime and criminal justice podcasts, and provides freelance consultancy to film, TV, documentary makers and news outlets, helping to make our favourite police procedurals as close to the real thing as possible. How killers are really caught... The book steps inside the mind of an investigator in a never-before-seen way, delving into the forensic detail of the processes that are used to catch killers and criminals. From the crime scene, the early investigative process, through to the arrests, interviews and the trial process, it's everything a true crime fan would want. John Blake is the authority on true crime and we're positioning Steven as our 'murder expert', alongside our other expert voices including Christopher Berry-Dee, Clive Sutton, Patricia Wiltshire and Ray Fysh. Steve will be a panellist at CrimeCon this year, where his self-published book was already a Book of the Month.
