The story behind the publication of I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, by Michelle McNamara, a masterful true crime account of the Golden State Killer—the elusive serial rapist turned murderer who terrorized California for over a decade.
Featuring interviews with the author, her husband, Patton Oswalt, and others who worked to publish the book: the L.A. Magazine editor who commissioned the first long-form article about the killer, Nancy Miller, her literary agent, Dan Greenberg, her book editor, Jennifer Barth, and more. The book is described as utterly original and compelling, destined to become a true crime classic, and the story behind its publication is equally remarkable.

Customer Reviews
Michelle the writer
Read her book to know about the crimes.
Listen to this to learn as much about Michelle and her process as we can now hope to learn. RIP
Stop It, Patton
Stop trying to grift off of your dead wife’s book/work- you seem to have moved on in every way except monetarily and it feels incredibly gross.
She didn’t ‘solve’ GSK, didn’t have an inkling of who it might be- she was simply addicted to the story, and then addicted to the drugs that kept her writing the story, which you happily stole for her, yet somehow escape any culpability.
Don’t go away mad, just go away, little guy.
I’ll be gone in the dark
She grips you with intelligence. The next Truman Capote of our time. A must read for writers, detectives and anyone who believes in justice.
