I'll Be Gone in the Dark

Journalist Michelle McNamara was determined to find the violent offender she dubbed The Golden State Killer, who terrorized California in the late 1970s and early 1980s, committing 50 home-invasion sexual assaults and ten murders. I’ll Be Gone in the Dark is a comprehensive exploration of the case of an elusive, violent predator, as well as a haunting personal memoir and self-examination of McNamara’s obsessive quest for justice on behalf of the victims and survivors of the crimes.
