ⓘ About Philip Carlo

Philip Carlo was an American author of true crime novels. His book The Ice Man: Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer was a New York Times bestselling book detailing the crimes of the infamous serial killer Richard Kuklinski who murdered 200 people. At 16, Carlo was shot in the head during a gang war, and while recovering at the hospital and at home, he would read many books, thus discovering the magic of books. His firsthand knowledge of the Mafia culture and their walk and talk significantly contributed to him becoming a successful writer. Surprisingly, when The Night Stalker was initially published, thousands of women worldwide contacted the author, begging to meet the serial rapist.
