Philip Carlo
<p>Philip Carlo was born and raised on the mean streets of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn—the same streets Tommy Pitera hailed from. There, Carlo earned a Ph.D. in street smarts, and he escaped a life of crime by writing about it with unusual insight. He is the author of the bestsellers <em>The Night Stalker</em>, about notorious serial killer Richard Ramirez, and <em>The Ice Man</em>, about infamous Mafia contract killer Richard Kuklinski. Carlo lives with his wife, Laura, in New York City.</p>
