A Northern California True Crime Account of David Carpenter, the Trailside Killer, and State Park Murders

Between 1979 and 1981, a predatory serial killer stalked hiking trails across Mount Tamalpais, Point Reyes, and Santa Cruz, California. Targeting female hikers and couples, the gunman executed victims in secluded forest areas, creating widespread terror across the San Francisco Bay Area.

Acclaimed Zodiac author Robert Graysmith details the joint task force operation involving county sheriffs, state park rangers, and the FBI. The book traces the forensic ballistics and eyewitness tips that identified David Carpenter—a stuttering, middle-aged ex-con known as the "Trailside Killer"—and his subsequent capital trials.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Robert Graysmith delivers an authoritative, highly detailed account of one of California's most intense serial killer manhunts. Rich in geographical detail and police procedural tradecraft, this volume is essential reading for fans of John Douglas, Ann Rule, and Carlton Smith.
