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 Bax’s 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.

Bax’s threat had been all too real. At 29 years old, the woman who seemed invincible—who was a beloved sister, daughter, and friend—was 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 Krystal’s story, retracing the dire failings of Canadian law enforcement and Bax’s last steps. I Got a Name uses one woman’s 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 isn’t looking out for the vulnerable, the threatened, the hunted—who among us is it protecting?

Review

INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER

Praise for I Got a Name:

“I Got a Name is a chilling story that transcends the true crime procedural it might have been to offer a heartfelt and sobering contemplation on the horrors of intimate partner violence and misogyny. Robertson takes us on a journey from the far north to the deep south to show how the dismissal of gender-based violence by those tasked with public protection has continued to put lives at risk, and exact a terrible price.”
—Pauline Dakin, author of Run, Hide, Repeat

 “Beyond its investigation of a murder and a disappearance, I Got a Name gives readers a flickering evocation of who Krystal Senyk was: her wit, kindness, frankness, independence, her existence. A profound and valuable look at the endless impacts of violence.”
 —Nathan Ripley, author of Find You in the Dark

5.0 out of 5 stars Good read for true crime fans
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2023
This is about that best friend who stands up to your abusive husband, and pays with her life in the process. This book is not only disturbing, but highly emotional. I commend the writer for not giving up and trying to help solve the mystery, where did the killer go? Great read for us true crime fans!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good story
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2023
This was an engrossing read with depth about a killing in the Yukon of Canada. Krystal was just helping her good friend to get away from her abusive husband, when he turned his anger on her. Ron Bax blamed Krystal for his wife leaving him and taking the kids. What follows is a look at the broken system and sad lack of results in the case, as the killer was never caught.

I lived in Whitehorse at the time and was 11 years old when this happened. I knew some of the story, but what I remember and what happened are not the same. This is a powerful story that we all need to learn from. And I think we have come a long way in believing and protecting women since then.

Hard to describe such an amazing book with so much information, and yet the case was never solved !
Definitely worth the read, and who knows.....maybe if enough people read it, the true killer may be found !

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a true depiction of Yukon people at all

Having lived in the Yukon many years I found this book to have a lot of filler…. It also refers to “The Old Boys Club” numerous times which I never felt at all in the Yukon, sadly it also referred on several instances that some Yukon people “felt Krystal deserved this as she was likely a lesbian”?? There has always been a very strong LGBTQ community in the Yukon and I hope someone from that group also voices their thoughts. We were all horrified when this happened and were gut wrenched for all involved in this horrible murder. I felt like the writer took a very tragic story line and “created” her book. It was interesting also that direct family involved declined to be interviewed. The Dad’s birthday cards to his daughter in the years that followed were heart wrenching and the most impactful part of the book all written by him….
