Think you know the Son of Sam story - the serial predator who stalked young lovers and terrorized New York city in 1976 and 1977?
You only know half of the story. Find out about his transformation in prison, captured in a new book "Monster Mirror: 100 hours with David Berkowitz, Once Known as Son of Sam" by Dr. Michael Caparrelli.
“A fascinating, helpful exploration of one of America’s most frightening killers. It’s easy to call people bad. It’s not easy to ask, why. I highly recommend this book.”
--Dr. Daniel Amen, Founder of Amen Clinics
