It closes with:
"This is how it ends for you.
“You’ll be silent forever, and I’ll be gone in the dark,” you threatened a victim once.
Open the door. Show us your face.
Walk into the light."

But she doesn't lean too far in that direction, thankfully. I appreciate her ultimate aim, bringing justice and awareness to these cold case crimes against women. I watched the documentary about this book a few months ago, and this certainly raised my awareness of the sheer ubiquity of these types of crimes in the 1970s and 80s. The documentary was structured more clearly, and certainly benefitted from the successful discovery of the offender, which occurred right after the book was published. The book, with the unfinished chapters that friends and writers tried to finish and fill in as McNamara may have intended, can never be complete in the way she wanted, as neither a solution or summation in her voice is possible anymore. It's unforgettable in that way.
