"Impressive."--Booklist, starred review

"Both a vivid and meticulous investigation of a twisted predator who terrorized quiet, upper middle-class communities in California for nearly a decade, and a wrenching personal account from a writer who became consumed by her subject."--New York Times

"Narrative true crime journalism at its very finest, a complex, multilayered, chilling portrait of a faceless monster, and a remarkable tribute to the woman who, up until her last day, believed she would one day have him in her crosshairs."--Village Voice

"That the book feels triumphant even after tragedy upon tragedy is a testament to McNamara's skill as a reporter."--Esquire, "The 25 Best True Crime Books Every Person Should Read"

The haunting true story of the elusive serial rapist turned murderer who terrorized California during the 70s and 80s, and of the gifted journalist who died tragically while investigating the case&;which was solved in April 2018.

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 has been hailed as a modern true crime classic&;one which fulfilled Michelle's dream: helping unmask the Golden State Killer.
