The Interrogation

On September 13, 2016, Shawn Grate was arrested in the small city of Ashland, Ohio for the abduction and rape of a young woman. Miraculously the victim actually guided her rescuers to her location using the perp’s cell phone as he slept. But her rescue was only the beginning! Police Detective, Kim Mager – a cross between Clarice Starling from “Silence of the Lambs” and Olivia Benson from Law & Order, SVU – was assigned to question Grate. It wasn’t long before she suspected that this event wasn’t a “one-off.” After almost 30 hours of interrogation, she got Grate to confess to multiple assaults, 5 homicides and led her to 3 bodies. Go inside that interrogation room with Detective Mager and take a seat as she recounts, minute by minute, her experience, including more than one moment where her life was at risk bringing a serial killer to justice. The book is HUNGER TO KILL, and my guest is Retired Detective Kim Mager.
