Including crime scene photographs, original journal entries, and interrogation notes, "The Seventh Shadow" captures the immediacy and sustained aggression of a massive and difficult murder investigation. It makes compelling reading for true crime readers.
Living in BC at the time that this story takes place, I can recall the events through the eyes of the news. Michael Eastham tells the real story of the Johnson and Beltley murders and the resultant investigation in all their grisly details. I did find Eastham's writing style to be somewhat lacking in grace but the story that he has to tell more than makes up for it.
Very Accurate and candid story of a murder investigation.

A book written by a policeman as a policeman would tell it - very blunt and candid. Explains the difficulties and hurdles that the author faced, not only in catching the suspect but within the police department. A horrific multiple murder that leaves the reader wondering why the suspect would kill so many people for such a selfish reason. Gives insight into the minds of the other policemen involved and gives a very personal touch to the storyline.
