True Crime

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. When darkness consumed the city that never sleeps...

In 1976, New York City became the hunting ground for one of America's most notorious serial killers. David Berkowitz, known as the "Son of Sam," transformed from an abandoned child into a monster who terrorized millions, changing the lives and habits of an entire metropolis.

This gripping audiobook takes you deep into the mind of a killer whose crimes weren't just about murder—they were about fame, recognition, and a twisted desire to be remembered. Through meticulously researched details, witness how loneliness, rejection, and psychological trauma can create a real-life nightmare.

Follow the unprecedented manhunt involving 300 officers, the largest in NYPD history. Experience the terror that gripped New York as women changed their appearance, couples feared leaving their homes, and an entire city lived in the shadow of random violence.

But the story doesn't end with his capture. David's shocking transformation in prison—from violent killer to peaceful Christian—raises profound questions about redemption, genuine change, and the nature of evil itself. His ultimate decision to refuse parole hearings challenges everything we think we know about justice and personal responsibility.

What happened when New York fell silent? Find out in this complete, unflinching examination of one of criminal history's most fascinating cases.
