-Bestselling Author: A woman’s terrifying story of surviving the Golden State Killer, written with “one of America’s finest true crime writers” (Vincent Bugliosi).
Jane Sandler had just kissed her husband goodbye as he left for work that morning. When he pulled out of the garage, another man walked in unnoticed. Seconds later, as her three-year-old nestled by her side, Jane heard footsteps—and then saw an intruder wearing a black ski mask. He had a rope and a knife in his hands…
This is the harrowing account of Jane’s all-too real nightmare, told in her own words as part of a compelling narrative by award-winning,
New York Times bestselling author and host of
Dark Minds M. William Phelps. It is also the true story of Jane’s battle and will to survive, of how she fought back and learned to share her unspeakable ordeal to empower others—even as the remorseless murderer and rapist, who came to be known as the Golden State Killer, went on to attack dozens more.
