Three Bodies Burning

The Anatomy of an Investigation into Murder, Money, and Mexican Marijuana

By: Brian Bogdanoff

Narrated by: Benjamin McLean

Length: 7 hrs and 17 mins

Publisher's summary

A haunting triple murder. The inside story of the investigation.

When two worlds collide, the illegal transportation of tons of Mexican cartel marijuana to inner city gang members in a Midwestern city's "hood" - three bodies end up burning, caught in a web of greed as a major international drug deal goes very bad.

The chilling trail of evidence from a remote wooded area, where three bodies are set on fire leads homicide detectives across the country chasing down witnesses and conspirators in a two-year search for cold-blooded killers.

This case has it all: murder, piles of cash stashed in the most unlikely of places, a blood-soaked crime scene, the remote dump site for bodies, luxury cars, flashy jewelry, and hundreds of pounds of illegal dope.

An unbelievable break takes detectives down the rabbit hole where CSI meets law and order and where good old gumshoeing and meticulous forensic procedures bring down a mega-million-dollar drug conspiracy and lock up the bad guys for life.

Follow the case through the eyes of the gritty homicide/narcotics detective. An audiobook for the amateur criminologist, it is for true crime fans, prosecutors, defense attorneys, cops, and robbers.

Warning: This book contains graphic crime scenes and adult language.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great book!

The author recounts this case as well as his time as an officer excellently. I, as someone with little knowledge of life on the force was captivated hearing how his investigations came to be. As an Omaha resident this case feels especially outstanding. This is a sensational true story and I highly recommend. Thanks for your work, Brian!

Read it in 2 days on a binge. Loved it

read it for a class and couldn't put it down. Loved the class to bring it all together. I would recommend it to a friend.

What a fantastic book!

I could not stop listening to this book. I met the author at a local gun show, and got a short preview. I was bummed at the ens because I could have continued to listen for hours.

Fantastic book well written and very entertaining, well worth the credit.. Does crime pay ?

Incredible read

This book will have you hooked from start to finish. If you are a fan of police procedural and true crime, you have to give this book a read/listen. Like the author says, some of the things that happen seem too wild to be true, but just as it is in real life, the truth can be stranger than fiction. Some parts sound like they are straight out of a Netflix crime drama, and they are extremely well written. If you're a fan of the genre, or you're looking to dip your toes in, then you've got to give this a listen.

True story

Great listen and author's talk.
Local event that I remember hearing about but never heard the real story.

Great read

So full of info. You feel like you are in the back seat during the investigation.

Book review

This is a very fast paced book. It goes right into the action from the beginning and only gets more interesting towards the end. I really enjoyed this book.

It was very interesting

This book was very interesting. They went through a lot of work to catch the bad guys. You never know what happens behind the scenes, so it was interesting.

Awesome listen!

Loved it! I hope this retired detective writes about more of his cases. To me very well written and easy to follow!
