About the Book

In researching his acclaimed true-crime books, Philip Carlo interviewed some of the most infamous criminals and killers of our times in prisons and on death rows throughout the country. He was able to forge trusting relationships with his subjects, enabling him to extract the facts behind their monstrous acts and identify what motivated them to commit their horrific crimes. Carlo's investigative achievements are remarkable, but what wasn't known to his readers is that, while working on The Ice Man, he learned he had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a terminal illness that causes all of the muscles in the body to atrophy over time. Suddenly, after years of penetrating the minds of killers, Carlo found himself being pursued by the grim reaper. But rather than lying down and succumbing to the disease, Carlo continued to work, his books still getting published to both critical and commercial acclaim. In The Killer Within, Carlo documents his difficult experiences with ALS and explains how he managed to continue writing prodigiously in the face of adversity. The Killer Within is a gripping, suspenseful page-turner that pulls the listener into the netherworld of Mafia bosses, Mafia hit men, and serial killers, as well as the hard realities of dealing with a fatal disease.

About the Author :

He is also the recipient of several television and stage awards. 2007 marked his entry into audiobook narration with Blackstone Audio.

Review :
"A hell of a book, a brutal page-turner" -- "Larry King" "An inspiring testament to what the human mind can accomplish in the wake of devastating change. A brave psychological exploration of a writer's craft and terminal illness." -- "Kirkus Reviews" "Carlo's knack for anecdote spinning and his own heartbreaking, yet ennobling, confrontation with ALS results in a unique and spellbinding memoir." -- "Booklist" "It's fascinating to see how he copes day to day with his illness as well bringing his experiences to the fore. It's a brave offering from the author and one that will hopefully get the readers to understand things a little clearer." -- "Falcata Times" "Kent Bateman not only finds the perfect voice to match the hard-boiled attitude of the Bensonhurst-born Carlo, he captures his love of life, his pride in his accomplishments, and his frustration with the failure of his once athletic body. The overall effect is so naturalistic and conversational it's easy to forget that the narrator isn't Carlo himself." -- "Publishers Weekly (starred audio review)"
