INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER\
A vivid and meticulous true-crime story that exposes the deep fractures in a system that repeatedly fails to protect women, while tracking the once-cold trail of a murderer still at large.\
Krystal Senyk was the kind of friend everybody wants: a reliable confidant, a handywoman of all trades, and an infectious creative with an adventurous spirit. Most importantly, she was tough as nails. So when her best friend needed support to leave her abusive husband, Ronald Bax, Krystal leapt into action.\
But soon Krystal became the new outlet for Baxâs rage. He terrorized and intimidated her for months on end, and finally issued a chilling warning to her and his ex-wife: the hunt is on. Krystal was scared but she was smart: she reached out to the RCMP for a police escort home. The officer brushed her off.\
Baxâs threat had been all too real. At 29 years old, the woman who seemed invincibleâwho was a beloved sister, daughter, and friendâwas shot and killed at her home in the Yukon. Ronald Bax disappeared without a trace.\
Three decades later, Eliza Robertson has re-opened the case. In compelling, vibrant prose, she works tirelessly to piece together Krystalâs story, retracing the dire failings of Canadian law enforcement and Baxâs last steps. I Got a Name uses one womanâs tragic story to boldly interrogate themes of gender-based violence and the pervasive issues that plague our society. In this riveting true-crime story about victimhood, power, and control, Robertson examines the broken system in place, and asks: if it isnât looking out for the vulnerable, the threatened, the huntedâwho among us is it protecting?
