“An excellent genre-buster…. Propulsive, can’t-stop-now reading.” -Stephen about I’ll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman’s Obsessive Seek out the Golden Condition Killer King

For more than ten years, a mysterious and violent predator committed fifty sexual assaults in Northern California before moving south, where he perpetrated 10 sadistic murders. Then he vanished, eluding capture by multiple police forces plus some of the best detectives in the area.

Three decades later, Michelle McNamara, a true crime journalist who created the favorite website TrueCrimeDiary.com, was determined to get the violent psychopath she called ‘the Golden State Killer.’ Michelle pored over police reports, interviewed victims, and embedded herself in the web communities which were as obsessed with the situation as she was.

I’ll Be Eliminated in the Dark-the masterpiece McNamara was composing during her unexpected death-offers an atmospheric snapshot of an instant in American background and a chilling accounts of a criminal mastermind as well as the wreckage he left behind. It is also a portrait of the woman’s obsession and her unflagging quest for the truth. Absolutely original and compelling, it really is destined to become true criminal offense classic-and may finally unmask the Golden Condition Killer.
