I believe that Jim would use his best investigative skills as an author and produce a wonderful murder mystery. If you enjoy a great mystery with top-notch investigative work, be sure to read this book. Kudos to Mr. Leach, this is a great read. Sheriff Delphus V.

There's always something new to learn from Jimmie Leach. Being able to draw from his extensive knowledge and expertise in investigation techniques is an asset to an investigator. I look forward to reading his latest book, Murder's a Tough Business , and benefiting from Jimmie's insight into the depraved minds of killers, and deciphering their thoughts and actions.

Sheriff David WoolforkFormer Sheriff David Woolfork served as the sheriff of Madison County Tennessee for 20 years, was honored by being the President of The Tennessee Sheriff's Association, and was the first African-American elected Sheriff in Madison County. Along the way, the author of Murder's A Tough Business and I worked together at the beginning of our careers as uniformed patrol officers. Then, again, years later when I was Chief Investigator for a Sheriff's Office and Jimmie was the TBI Agent assigned to that county. Our paths have crossed many times over the years in our profession and I am honored to have had his friendship over the years.

He holds a B.S. in Criminal Justice and graduated from the 159th Session of the FBI National Academy. Although these cases have been broadcast on local and/or national TV newscasts, having the insight of a career law enforcement investigator adds so much more to the story.
