We all know the story of David Berkowitz, aka "The Son of Sam", or, at least, we think we do. We know what the newspapers and tv reporters have told us. But do you want the whole story? From one of the victims? The Son of Sam and Me by Carl Denaro and Brian Whitney is a first-hand account and inside point of view from victim Carl Denaro and why he thinks Berkowitz was not the shooter that injured him. Yes, you read that correctly.
This book is a deep dive into the reality that was Carl's life leading up to and after he was shot that fateful night in New York in the back of the head while sitting in a car with a friend and the terror of that knowledge that has haunted him ever since. If you are familiar with Maury Terry's The Ultimate Evil this book can act as a companion picking up and adding to where that book left off.
Not for the faint of heart, this book will startle even the most seasoned of true crime readers such as myself. David Berkowitz is just the beginning of this horrifying story of a cult of killers working together and spanning from New York to California. I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoys true crime and especially those who are familiar with Maury Terry. This book will give you some extra details that I have previously not known prior and I have been tracking the Berkowitz case for more than 20 years. I suggest reading this one at night under the covers with the lights on. Prepare to take a journey over 40 years in the making….
