The Night Stalker

Praise for THE NIGHT STALKER:

"Phil Carlo paints a disturbing portrait of cold-blooded killer Richard Ramirez. In the true crime tradition of In Cold Blood and The Executioner's Song, Carlo compelling tells the ghastly story from numerous points of view, including those of Ramirez and two ingenious sheriff's detectives who finally cracked the case." —PEOPLE Magazine
    

"Absorbing…detailed, Carlo allows the killer's grotesque acts to be squarely in view." —The Los Angeles Times Book Review

"An astonishing portrait of a killer not seen since In Cold Blood."—NY Daily News

"Filled with never-known-before details. [Carlo] did his homework and wrote a very compelling true crime tale." —CNN

"Exceptionally well-told."—Publishers Weekly

"The chilling inside perspective of a serial killer."—Library Journal

"We've all read novelists and true crime writers who try to put you inside-the-mind-of-the-serial-killer, but I can't remember one that succeeded with the physical and psychological intimacy of this collaboration between the writer and the killer himself."—New York Press

"This is the definitive book on America's most feared serial killer. The writing is so intimate, you actually feel like a voyeur reading this book. A must read that will return you to the time when no one could sleep in Los Angeles because of the Stalker. A real page turner."—Tony Valdez, Fox TV Los Angeles

"The best book on murder I've ever read."—Captain Ken Roe, NYPD Homicide

"A true crime masterpiece. Carlo vividly brings to life one of this century's most brutal kinds of predator. A must read!"—Steve Elshoff, Producer, American Justice
