The haunting true story of the elusive serial rapist turned murderer who terrorized California for over a decade—and of the gifted journalist who died tragically while investigating the case.
Introduction by Gillian Flynn • Afterword by Patton Oswalt
“A brilliant genre-buster.... Propulsive, can’t-stop-now reading.” —Stephen King
For more than ten years, a mysterious and violent predator committed fifty sexual assaults in Northern California before moving south, where he perpetrated ten sadistic murders. Then he disappeared, eluding capture by multiple police forces and some of the best detectives in the area.
Three decades later, Michelle McNamara, a true crime journalist who created the popular website TrueCrimeDiary.com, was determined to find the violent psychopath she called "the Golden State Killer." Michelle pored over police reports, interviewed victims, and embedded herself in the online communities that were as obsessed with the case as she was.
I’ll Be Gone in the Dark—the masterpiece McNamara was writing at the time of her sudden death—offers an atmospheric snapshot of a moment in American history and a chilling account of a criminal mastermind and the wreckage he left behind. It is also a portrait of a woman’s obsession and her unflagging pursuit of the truth. Utterly original and compelling, it is destined to become a true crime classic—and may at last unmask the Golden State Killer.

Otroligt bra skriven och ett imponerande grävarbete, samtidigt som det är så tragiskt att författaren avled alltför tidigt och inte fick uppleva när mördaren äntligen fångades.

This is a truly inspiering and well written book. Highly recommended for all who has a passion for factual true crime litterature and criminology. Sadly the author never had the opportunity to finish her research. However her legacy in this matter Will live on forever.

This incredible true-crime investigation has a truly satisfying conclusion. It’s not for the faint of heart as it follows the stories of so many terrorized and harmed. Whole heartedly recommend the complimentary HBO limited documentary series. The work of a dedicated private citizen holds the key to it all.
