De: Mark Stokes

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

From the stifling darkness of Los Angeles in the mid-1980s emerges one of America’s most infamous—and feared—serial killers. The Night Stalker: The Life and Crimes of Richard Ramirez takes you inside the twisted psyche of Richard Ramirez, tracing the trajectory from his fractured childhood, through a series of shocking invasions and murders, to the frenzied manhunt that brought him to justice. You will confront terror in its rawest form: Ramirez’s crimes were random, ruthless, and relentless—breaking into homes by night, sparing neither innocence nor age, leaving scars that would haunt survivors and communities alike.

Drawing on a range of sources, the narrative charts Ramirez’s entanglements with cruelty, his fascination with Satanism, and the twisted admiration he inspired in some. You will also see how law enforcement pieced together clues—shoe prints, fingerprints, witness reports—leading to one of the most talked-about criminal trials of the era. From the homes of his victims to Ramirez’s own reflections, this is true crime storytelling that refuses to look away.

Terrifying, yes—but necessary. As you turn each page, you’ll feel the dread Ramirez sowed, the terror that kept cities sleepless, and the resolve of those—police, prosecutors, and survivors—who refused to let fear win. The Night Stalker is more than a chronicle of murder; it’s a window into evil, and a stark reminder of the fragility of safety. For readers drawn to dark history, criminal psychology, or the quest for justice, this book delivers both the horror and the insight.
