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.

Informative, shocking and sad in equal measure

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

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.

Lots of good detail.

I really enjoyed this book, there's lots of cases here, some big cases, some not so much. Peter goes onto a good amount of detail that true crime biography fans will enjoy.

A Shocking Reality

The Author / Narrator delivers a frank no holds barred exposure of unspeakable crimes and some of the perpetrators.
It is brutal in its honesty and delivery. This man’s selfless crusade against criminals to bring justice to all decent folk is humbling.

Fascinating but sad at the same time

Some really sad stories , would have been really nice if we found out if the culprits have been caught .
