A gripping true crime memoir of partnership and justice, Jigsaw and Jane takes readers deep into the darkest corners of criminal investigations alongside one of the LAPD’s most revered detectives.
When Jane Howatt, a determined but inexperienced writer, crosses paths with legendary Detective John "Jigsaw" St. John, she is drawn into the grim world of cold cases and notorious killers.
