“An excellent genre-buster…. Propulsive, can’t-stop-now reading.” -Stephen about I’M GOING TO BE Gone at night: One Woman’s Obsessive Search for the Golden State 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 ten sadistic murders. Then he disappeared, eluding catch by multiple law enforcement forces and some of the best detectives in the region.

Three decades later on, Michelle McNamara, a true crime journalist who created the popular website TrueCrimeDiary.com, was determined to get the violent psychopath she called ‘the Golden State Killer.’ Michelle pored over law enforcement reports, interviewed victims, and embedded herself in the online communities which were as enthusiastic about the situation as she was.

I’ll Be Gone 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 account of a criminal mastermind and the wreckage he left out. Additionally it is a portrait of a woman’s obsession and her unflagging quest for the truth. Utterly original and powerful, it is destined to become true crime classic-and may finally unmask the Golden Condition Killer.
