It started as a simple journal exercise. Tom Sullivan wanted to list his top 10 favorite hunting, fishing, and climbing trips. Once completed, however, he noted something he found quite interesting. The majority of the excursions he noted didn't result in a harvest of fin or fur, nor did they remind him of any found and conquered summit. Instead, he had selected past trips where something remarkable had occurred and valuable lessons had been learned. This became the inspiration for his first collection of adventure essays.

Ein kurzes Wort der Warnung. Die True-Crime-Kurzgeschichten in dieser Sammlung von drei Büchern sind unvorstellbar grausam. Ich beginne alle meine True-Crime-Bücher mit einem kurzen Wort der Warnung. Die meisten Nachrichtenartikel und Fernsehsendungen über wahre Verbrechen überfliegen die abscheulichen Details der wirklich schrecklichen Verbrechen. In meinen Büchern beschönige ich die Fakten nicht, egal wie abscheulich sie auch sein mögen. Ich versuche, meinen Lesern eine klare und genaue Beschreibung davon zu geben, wie wahnsinnig die Mörder wirklich waren.

El 15 de mayode 2017 fue asesinado en Culiacán el periodista Javier Valdez Cárdenas, autor de una serie de libros excepcionales para entender el fenómeno del narco y el voraz crecimiento de la delincuencia organizada en México.

Periodista valiente y puntual, crítico hasta el extremo con la realidad de nuestro país, su trabajo logró reconocimiento internacional y, sobre todo, por una pluma vibrante, conmovedora, profundamente humana.

Daher beginne ich alle meine True-Crime-Bücher mit einem kurzen Warnhinweis. Die meisten Nachrichtenartikel und Fernsehsendungen über wahre Verbrechen klammern die abscheulichen Details der wirklich schrecklichen Verbrechen aus. In meinen Büchern beschönige ich die Tatsachen jedoch nicht, egal wie widerlich sie auch sein mögen. Ich versuche, meinen Lesern eine klare und genaue Beschreibung zu geben, wie verschlagen die Mörder in Wirklichkeit waren. Ich gebe mein Bestes, um nichts auszulassen. Die Geschichten in diesen Büchern sind nichts für zartbesaitete Menschen.
