Critical Acclaim for The Night Stalker “Carlo has given us an astonishing portrait of a killer not seen since In Cold Blood. ” —Denis Hamil, NY Daily News “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.” —John Strausbaush, New York Press “An exceptionally well-told true crime tale.” —Publishers Weekly “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 compellingly tells the ghastly story from numerous points of view, including those of Ramirez and two ingenious sheriffs detectives who finally cracked the case.” —People Magazine “. . . this book will provide true crime readers a chilling inside perspective of a serial killer.” —Library Journal “Carlo’s book is filled with never-known-before details. He did his homework and wrote a very compelling true crime tale.” —Ann McDermitt, CNN “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 “I stayed up until 3:00 A.M. because I couldn’t put the book down. Quite a compelling read. The amount of details is truly amazing.” —Jordan Legion, San Jose Mercury News “Absorbing . . . detailed, Phil Carlo allows the killer’s grotesque acts to be squarely in view.” —The Los Angeles Times Book Review “Carlo’s book is a chilling, painstakingly researched account of the summer that kept residents of the San Gabriel Valley and later the entire state, captive behind closed doors and windows in fear. I read the book twice I was so taken by it.” —Anne La Jeunesse, Northridge Chronicle “A hell of a tale.” —Michael Smith, WABC RADIO “For sure one of the best true crime books ever written. A real page turner.” —Steve Kaplouity, KLAQ RADIO, El Paso “I couldn’t put the book down. The details are amazing, told from many points of view; very scary indeed.” —Pamela Warrick, Los Angeles Times “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 kind of predator. A must read!” —Steve Elshoff, Producer American Justice THE LIFE AND CRIMES OF RICHARD RAMIREZ PHILIP CARLO Citadel Press Kensington Publishing Corp. kensingtonbooks.com All copyrighted material within is Attributor Protected.
