Death as a Living: Investigating Murder in the American Heartland

"Entertaining and thought-provoking, Burke blends vignettes from his time on the beat with deeply considered ideas on policing." --Newsweek

For more than 30 years, involving more than 1,000 cases, Doyle Burke has been a death investigator, first with the Dayton, Ohio police department, then with a county coroner's office. In this book, he shares his tricks of the trade: how detectives solve cases, what they look for, the importance of forensic science, and the irreplaceable value of instinct.

Inside the World of Homicide Investigation

This true crime memoir takes readers behind the yellow tape into the daily realities of death investigation. Burke reveals the forensic techniques, investigative procedures, and detective work that solve murder cases. From crime scene analysis to courtroom testimony, learn the methods used by homicide detectives to bring justice to victims and their families.

Real Cases, Real Stories

Along the way, Burke offers humorous trial anecdotes, thoughts on race and policing, stories about the fatal toll stress took on fellow officers, and, perhaps most movingly, details about the three fatal shootings of police officers - one of them one of his first friends on the department, another the son of his sergeant - that he had to investigate.

Part memoir, part police procedural, and part true crime anthology, Death as a Living reveals the inside world of homicide and death investigation--the triumph, tragedy, humor, and truly bizarre situations one finds when working that beat.

About the Authors

Doyle Burke was midway through his homicide career in 2001 when the National Association of Police Organizations listed him as one of the Top 100 Cops in the nation. He spent 29 years with the Dayton Police Department, the last 22 in homicide. He is now the Chief Investigator for the Warren County (Ohio) Coroner's Office and teaches homicide investigation across Ohio.

Lou Grieco worked as a reporter for the Dayton Daily News from 1993 to 2013, specializing in law enforcement and public safety issues. He covered many of the stories detailed in this book.
