  • I'll be gone in the dark : one woman's obsessive search for the Golden State Killer

    by Michelle McNamara

    364.1532 /McNamara
    True Crime

    "A masterful true crime account of the Golden State Killer-- the elusive serial rapist turned murderer who terrorized California for over a decade-- from Michelle McNamara, the gifted journalist who died tragically while investigating the case. 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. At the time of the crimes, the Golden State Killer was between the ages of eighteen and thirty, Caucasian, and athletic-- capable of vaulting tall fences. He always wore a mask. After choosing a victim-- he favored suburban couples-- he often entered their home when no one was there, studying family pictures, mastering the layout. He attacked while they slept, using a flashlight to awaken and blind them. Though they could not recognize him, his victims recalled his voice: a guttural whisper through clenched teeth, abrupt and threatening."--Amazon.com.

    After the arrest of the Golden State Killer suspect I immediately placed my name on the hold list for the Book on Disk copy of Michelle McNamara's comprehensive true crime book. Luckily enough, I was able to pick the item up just before going on a long road trip and I listened to the entire book over a long weekend. McNamara balanced the gruesome crime facts with information about the decades long search for the killer and how it played a role in her life as well as so many other lives. -Shawna
