Gillian Flynn Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

A haunting true story of a serial rapist turned murderer who terrorized California in the 70s and 80s, this narrative follows the gifted journalist who tragically died while investigating the case, which was ultimately solved in April 2018. The work is introduced by Gillian Flynn and features an afterword by Patton Oswalt. For over a decade, a violent predator committed fifty sexual assaults in Northern California and ten sadistic murders in Southern California, eluding capture by multiple police forces and top detectives. Three decades later, true crime journalist Michelle McNamara, creator of TrueCrimeDiary.com, became determined to find the psychopath she named "the Golden State Killer." She meticulously examined police reports, interviewed victims, and engaged with online communities obsessed with the case. The masterpiece she was writing at the time of her sudden death offers a chilling account of a criminal mastermind and the devastation he caused, while also portraying McNamara’s obsession and relentless pursuit of the truth. This utterly original and compelling work has been hailed as a modern true crime classic, fulfilling Michelle's dream of helping to unmask the Golden State Killer.

Libby Day hétéves volt, amikor az anyját és két nővérét meggyilkolták a kansasi Kinnakee-ben. Libby túlélte a mészárlást, és vallomásában azt állította, hogy tizenöt éves bátyja, Ben volt a tettes. Huszonöt évvel később a Gyilkosok Klubja – egy hírhedt bűnügyekkel foglalkozó titkos társaság – felkeresi Libbyt, hogy bizonyítékot találjanak Ben ártatlanságára.
