The Night Stalker: The Life and Crimes of Richard Ramirez

The Night Stalker by Philip Carlo

The Night Stalker by Philip Carlo is a disturbing true crime account of Richard Ramirez, one of America’s most notorious serial killers. Drawing on extensive research and interviews, Carlo examines the crimes that terrorized Los Angeles in the 1980s and left Ramirez’s name associated with fear, violence, and murder.

The book explores Ramirez’s background, psychology, trial, convictions, and the lasting impact of his crimes on victims, investigators, and the public. This revised and updated edition also looks at the unsettling fascination surrounding Ramirez, including the women who contacted the author hoping to reach the killer.

Detailed, intense, and deeply unsettling, The Night Stalker is suited to readers of serious true crime, criminal psychology, investigative nonfiction, and accounts of high-profile murder cases. It includes photo sections and presents a chilling look at one of the darkest chapters in modern American crime history.
