ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

I'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara is a haunting and meticulous exploration of the Golden State Killer, a serial rapist and murderer who terrorized California during the 1970s and 1980s. McNamara, a true crime journalist, immerses herself in the case, detailing the killer's violent spree and the challenges faced by investigators. The book weaves personal reflections, investigative journalism, and a deep dive into the psychology of both the victims and the perpetrator. It examines the emotional toll on the families, the persistence of cold cases, and the role of technology in solving long-unsolved crimes.
