The Son of Sam "Then and Now" The David Berkowitz Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781393635413)

David Berkowitz, who became infamously known as the 'Son of Sam', first struck on the morning of 29 July 1976. It was the beginning of many brutal attacks that were to terrorize New York City's citizens over a one-year period. During the summer of 1977 at the height of the killer's notoriety and with the city in a collective panic over who was going to be his next victim, bars and nightclubs were deserted. It seemed that the efforts of the NYPD and special task teams couldn't bring the serial killer, who indiscriminately shot his victims with a 44-caliber handgun, to justice. Today, Berkowitz, former Son of Sam and now devout Christian, languishes behind bars and is unlikely ever to be released.
