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.

Ontzettend goed true crime boek. Heel spannend, vrij onderkoeld worden de meest schokkende feiten beschreven. Heel interessant.

Fantastisch boek van een vastberaden persoon op zoek naar een niets ontziende verkrachter en moordenaar.

Een must read voor elke true crime liefhebber. Het is ongelooflijk om je te realiseren hoeveel onderzoek hierin heeft gezeten en Michelle McNamara's vastberadenheid is inspirerend. Haar beschrijvingen van ervaringen van slachtoffers met de Golden State Killer bezorgen je kippenvel en laten zien hoe belangrijk het is dat rechtvaardigheid zegeviert.
