Patton Oswalt Brings Late Wife’s Newly Published Book To Her Grave

Crime writer Michelle McNamara had spent years researching and writing about the case of the Golden State Killer. The wife of comedian Patton Oswalt was working on a book that she hoped would bring the as-yet-unidentified serial rapist and murderer to justice. Sadly, McNamara died in her sleep in April 2016, leaving her book unfinished.

But in the months following her death, Oswalt made it clear that he would ensure that her work was completed and published. And Oswalt kept that promise.

On Tuesday, HarperCollins released McNamara’s book, I’ll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman’s Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer.

And early Tuesday, Oswalt honored his late wife by bringing a copy of the book to her gravesite.

“You did it, baby,” Oswalt wrote on Twitter. “The book is excellent, the writing brilliant. You tried to bring kindness to chaos, which was your way.”
