Dead Quiet: The Story of Ronald DeFeo, Jr and The Amityville Murders

By Mark Garrod

Six murders. One house. A nightmare rewritten by time.

In the predawn darkness of November 13, 1974, the DeFeo family was executed as they slept in their suburban Amityville home. The killer? Their own son - 23-year-old Ronald "Butch" DeFeo Jr. What investigators uncovered was more than a massacre. It was a story soaked in dysfunction, fear, and chilling calculation.

And then came the haunting.

Dead Quiet cuts through the fog of superstition and Hollywood spectacle to expose the horrifying truth behind one of America's most infamous crimes. With raw, unflinching detail, this book follows Butch's unraveling mind, the explosive courtroom drama, and the myths that hijacked a family's tragedy.

Before the s ances. Before the spin-offs.
There were victims - and their voices were silenced.
