Berkowitz confessed to shooting sixteen people and killing six with a .44 caliber Bulldog revolver, and the case was officially closed.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eJournalist Maury Terry was suspicious of Berkowitz’s confession. Spurred by conflicting witness descriptions of the killer and clues overlooked in the investigation, Terry was convinced Berkowitz didn’t act alone. Meticulously gathering evidence for a decade, he released his findings in the first edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Ultimate Evil.\u003c\/i\u003e Based upon the evidence he had uncovered, Terry theorized that the Son of Sam attacks were masterminded by a Yonkers-based cult that was responsible for other ritual murders across the country. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter Terry’s death in 2015, documentary filmmaker Josh Zeman (\u003ci\u003eCropsey\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Killing Season\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e Murder Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e) was given access to Terry’s files, which form the basis of his docuseries with Netflix and a companion podcast. Taken together with\u003ci\u003e The Ultimate Evil\u003c\/i\u003e, which includes a new introduction by Zeman, these works reveal the stunning intersections of power, wealth, privilege, and evil in America—from the Summer of Sam until today.","brand":"Quirk Books","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46770991857891,"sku":"DTRSSUS-9781683692843","price":122.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9781683692843.jpg?v=1751563545","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh-mo\/products\/9781683692843","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
