WITH EXCLUSIVE DEATH ROW INTERVIEW

Years after Richard Ramirez left thirteen dead and brought the city of Los Angeles to a standstill, his name is still synonymous with fear, torture and sadistic murder.

Based on three years of meticulous research and extensive interviews with Ramirez himself, Philip Carlo's US bestseller The Night Stalker reveals the killer and his horrifying crimes to be even more chilling than anyone could have imagined.
With an exclusive death row interview, The Night Stalker is a spellbinding descent into the very heart of human evil.

I have only read the preview and from what I can gather this book seems to be very sensational. The way it is written is feeding the publics voyeurism and desire for tabloid worthy tales. Personally I feel it isn't very respectful towards the victims. I can imagine that the surviving rape victims would not want their ordeal dramatised in a book. I feel that Carlo is very insensitive towards the crime of rape, for example the elderly women, he said Ramirez was disappointed because there were no young girls in the house. Rape is a crime of violence and the perp doesn't need to feel sexually attracted towards the victim. It is a desperately misunderstood crime and the way Carlo articulates it fuels these ignorant views even more so. 'It is the girls fault for being pretty' or 'it can't happen to elderly or disabled' is it any wonder that a high percentage of rape victims feel unable to report it? Attitudes like this definitely don't help.

Thoroughly enjoyed the book, as someone who would not identify themselves as a regular reader this kept my eyes glued to the screen and frightened when it appeared dark outside.
