</div>
Legendary LAPD Homicide Detective John St. John walked among the dead for nearly a half-century.
Known as “JigSaw John,” he pursued monsters that had an insatiable appetite for blood and suffering.
<a href="https://janehowatt.com/jigsaw-and-jane-the-dream-becomes-reality/">Jane Howatt</a>, a suburban housewife and aspiring writer, wanted to trade her tennis racket for something more meaningful.
St. John didn’t need company, and he sure didn’t want a young unpublished author in his way.&nbsp;
But something about Howatt’s curiosity—earnest, unspoiled, insistent—broke down his guard.
St. John worked the evidence; Howatt worked the story.&nbsp;
The result is “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Jigsaw-Jane-Thirteen-Murder-Mayhem/dp/0991170318">JigSaw and Jane: Thirteen Years of Murder & Mayhem with Badge Number One</a>.”&nbsp;
St.John empathized with crime victims because he was one of them.
As a young jailer, a prisoner ambushed him with an iron bar ripped from a bunk.
The prisoner savagely beat St. John to the brink of death, leaving him blind in one eye.
In another life, JigSaw and Jane would have barely noticed each other in a supermarket aisle.&nbsp;
Instead, they found themselves peering into crime scenes of LA’s most brutal and sensational crimes together.
This is their <a href="https://www.truecrimereporter.com/books/jigsaw-and-jane-pursue-murder-mayhem/">story</a>.
