Summary

TV's top fugitive hunter investigates the UK's worst unsolved murders.

Roughly ten per cent of all murders in the UK go unsolved. Here, Britain's top ex-undercover cop shines new light on cases up and down the country in search of answers.

Peter Bleksley's life has been devoted to investigating. As an undercover detective for the Metropolitan Police and in his ability to get to the bottom of a case was legendary as he dealt with some of the world's most feared criminals. His success rate in solving murders as a serving officer was one hundred per cent.

Using the investigative skills gained from decades of experience and access to archives and contacts in the force, Bleksley shines new light on investigations that ran aground, often despite extensive media coverage and police resources. Often he discovers glaring errors made by investigators and forensic teams that will shock many of the general public.

Now a renowned policing and crime expert seen on the BBC and as the Chief on Channel 4's Hunted, Bleksley's knowledge and experience is peerless. On the Run is a comprehensive and fascinating investigation into murders of the most callous kind, finding the human story behind the headlines as he hunts down the killers on the run from justice.

Interesting

Glad the author read the book himself, it frequently makes the difference and I feel it did here too. Well worth the time.

Excellent, Honest & Told as is was.

I thought the research & experiences in this book were honest, true & often so very sad. I so felt for Molly Dowlers family also Stephen Laurence, I was not familia with Terry & Billy's story, I am left so very sad for their mum. Also Yan, all these were avoidable. I agree with Peter on the Justice system also. Sadly things don't seem to be improving. Great narrative, someone who is down to earth & sounds a Londer like me. Very well done.

Informative, shocking and sad in equal measure

Enjoyed Peter's narrative, especially the detail around procedures outside of the history of each case.

Very interesting

I absolutely loved this book. As someone who follows many of the true crime stories in the UK, listening to Peter's account was very passionate and interesting. I hope that he is able to solve these outstanding cases one day.

Loads of padding!

I do like Peter’s no nonsense approach and he clearly knows his subject matter. But I just found that the book was padded out with unnecessary commentary and at times, several sub stories running together, which made things hard to follow. Shame.
