Recensione:

“And if your Sopranos addiction shows no signs of abating, check out Philip Carlo’s GASPIPE.” (Los Angeles Times)

“This powerful story is required reading for anyone with a yen for the Mafia, the criminal underworld and a law enforcement system struggling to keep up.” (Publishers Weekly)

PRAISE FOR GASPIPE “Carlo has the real goods. ...the inside information about the lifestyle, rituals, killings and betrayals is priceless. An authoritative look at a once-rampant predator now at bay.” (Kirkus Reviews)

PRAISE FOR THE NIGHT STALKER “Carlo has given us an astonishing portrait of a killer not seen since In Cold Blood.” (Denis Hamill, New York 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)

“An exceptionally well-told true crime tale.” (Publishers Weekly)

“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 compellingly tells the ghastly story from numerous points of view, including those of Ramirez and two ingenious sheriff’s detectives who finally cracked the case.” (People)

“...This book will provide true crime readers chilling inside perspective of a serial killer.” (Library Journal)

“I stayed up until 3:00 a.m. because I couldn’t put the book down. Quite a compelling read. The amount of details is truly amazing.” (San Jose Mercury News)

“I couldn’t put the book down. The details are amazing, told from many points of view; very scary indeed.” (Los Angeles Times)

L'autore:

Philip Carlo was born and raised on the mean streets of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn—the same streets Tommy Pitera hailed from. There, Carlo earned a Ph.D. in street smarts, and he escaped a life of crime by writing about it with unusual insight. He is the author of the bestsellers The Night Stalker, about notorious serial killer Richard Ramirez, and The Ice Man, about infamous Mafia contract killer Richard Kuklinski. Carlo lives with his wife, Laura, in New York City.
