Michelle McNamara's "I'll Be Gone in the Dark"
is part investigation into the dozens of crimes that terrorized
segments of California in the 1970s and 1980s, and part memoir
about her quest for justice.
Joseph James DeAngelo, 72, of Sacramento was charged last week
with eight murders in the case.
The book, published posthumously in February, two years after
McNamara's death at age 46, is credited with putting renewed
attention on the case.
The author was married to actor Patton Oswalt, who, along with
two others, completed the book following McNamara's death in
2016.
Filmmaker Liz Garbus, whose documentary on singer Nina Simone,
"What Happened, Miss Simone?," won an Emmy and was nominated for
an Oscar, will direct the series, HBO said.
The Time Warner Inc-owned cable channel said production on the
series had started but did not give a broadcast date.
