I'll Be Gone in the Dark

Book • 2018
This book tells the haunting true story of the elusive serial rapist and murderer known as the Golden State Killer, who committed fifty sexual assaults and ten murders in California during the 1970s and 1980s.

The narrative is intertwined with the story of Michelle McNamara, the gifted journalist who dedicated her life to uncovering the identity of the killer.

Despite her tragic death before completing the book, McNamara's work helped unmask the Golden State Killer in April 2018.

The book includes an introduction by Gillian Flynn and an afterword by Patton Oswalt, and it has been hailed as a modern true crime classic for its atmospheric and meticulous investigation.
