I'll disappear in the dark

"You will be silenced forever and I will disappear into the darkness..." The Golden State Killer committed thirteen murders and raped dozens of women in the Los Angeles area in the 1970s and 1980s. Thirty years after his rampage, Michelle McNamara followed a seemingly cold trail and began searching for a serial killer living under the assumption that he had already escaped justice. A passionate, patient and meticulous investigative journalist, in cooperation with the police, has managed to gather and interpret a number of small, yet significant clues. She also gave the perpetrator the nickname by which the American public knows him. But nothing is free: Problems bubbled under the surface and the single-minded author was forced to address them with a series of medications. The true story charts not only the fate of a brutal predator, who longed to disappear forever into the darkness, but also the life of an intrepid sleuth, whose obsession with reporting was fatal... 2020 documentary series of the same name, loosely based on this bestseller, was produced by HBO. "A masterful true-crime book that will be enjoyed by any reader interested in the depths of human nature, crime, puzzles, and investigative dramas." - Kirkus Reviews. "I'll Disappear in the Dark represents a seminal work in the field of real crime mapping. We can use the adjectives 'fascinating' and 'frightening' without hesitation. Most of us will probably never understand how someone can be so cruel and heartless. Still, we should read about these horrors and learn from them, and be more vigilant about our safety and the safety of our fellow human beings. But above all, we must ensure that such criminals never escape their punishment." - Lukbook. "A fascinating and frightening book that can be read in one sitting. It's such a riveting read. Michelle McNamara famously brought the Golden State Killer case to life and contributed in no small part to its resolution. " - Michael Connelly. "Readers should know that this book is exceptional in that it deals with two obsessions, one light and one dark. The Golden State Killer is the dark side, Michelle McNamara is the light side. It is a journey into two minds, one sick and disturbed, the other intelligent and determined." - Stephen King.
