William Furno, a dedicated criminal investigator with over twenty five years of hands-on experience in law enforcement, shares an insightful and personal perspective in his debut book, I Worked for God: A Criminal Investigator’s Personal Story of Fighting True Evil. Set for release on May 27, 2025, the book offers a compelling look at the challenges and sacrifices faced by those who serve in law enforcement, told through the lens of Furno’s career and the criminal cases he has worked to solve.
Growing up in a police family, Furno’s path into law enforcement was almost inevitable. His early exposure to the complexities of the profession shaped his career, providing him with both the knowledge and the drive to confront the harsh realities of criminal investigations. From his early days in training to the complex cases he later investigated, I Worked for God is not only a recounting of crimes but an exploration of the personal toll such work can take on those who engage in it.
The book takes readers through a series of real-world cases that required not only procedural knowledge but an understanding of the deeper human elements that drive criminal behavior. Through these specific cases, Furno paints a picture of what it’s like to work on the frontlines of law enforcement, confronting the darker aspects of human nature, while also managing the constant stress and emotional strain that such work can impose.
“I wanted to share the realities that police officers and investigators face every day,” says Furno. “This book isn’t just about solving crimes—it’s about understanding the emotional and psychological toll that comes with this line of work. The sacrifices made by those in law enforcement are profound, and this book seeks to shed light on the less visible, yet crucial, parts of the profession.”
The narrative unfolds with Furno’s firsthand experiences, offering readers a window into the daily realities of law enforcement officers and the complexities that come with investigating and solving serious crimes. The book also delves into the moral dilemmas faced by those who must navigate the world of crime, while trying to maintain their own sense of integrity and compassion.
As an author with over twenty five years of field experience, Furno brings a unique and authentic perspective to the book, one that sets his work apart from others in the genre. His personal connection to the material provides a depth of insight that can only come from years spent on the frontlines of law enforcement. Through his narrative, Furno invites readers to appreciate the often-overlooked work of law enforcement professionals, as well as the emotional resilience required to succeed in such a demanding and high-pressure profession.
The book offers not only a look into the life of an investigator but also a broader reflection on the role of law enforcement in society. By presenting a clear-eyed portrayal of the difficulties faced by officers, it offers valuable insight into the personal and professional challenges inherent in protecting society from crime.
