Behind the Badge: Memphis Crime Stories

Former Memphis cop Darren Goods drops his gripping debut book, “Memphis Crime A Trilogy of Fear Volume 1,” revealing raw, real-life crime stories that go beyond the headlines. He recounts the harrowing 2001 kidnapping of Melissa Solaas by Montarius Cox — a case solved through a daring sting and Goods’ relentless interrogation — while honoring Solaas’ survival and resilience. The book also exposes the emotional toll of policing, spotlighting lesser-known cases to amplify every victim’s voice. Goods, who gained fame for solving the Lorenzen Wright murder, stepped down from public safety after a controversial hot mic moment, crediting the quiet time for letting him finish this powerful tribute to law enforcement’s unseen sacrifices. He hopes readers gain a deeper appreciation for the grit, dedication, and humanity behind the badge. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
