From the Shadows of Death

Nonfiction · Forthcoming

When a loved one dies under circumstances that raise questions, families are thrust into a system they have never encountered — one with its own language, its own timelines, and almost no built-in mechanism for communicating with the people most affected by it.

From the Shadows of Death is the book those families needed and could not find. Written by a death investigation professional with over 30 years of experience inside that system — including four years independently reviewing in-custody and law enforcement-involved deaths as Executive Officer of San Diego County’s civilian oversight board — it explains plainly and completely what the death investigation process actually involves, what families have a right to expect, and what they can do when the system fails them.
