The photo above was taken on the day of Ramirez's wedding on Death Row. He also wrote the true-crime bestsellers The Ice Man, The Butcher, and Gaspipe.
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.

--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.
--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!
