The Ultimate Evil is a terrifying investigation into one of America's most dangerous satanic cults, with evidence linking Charles Manson and the Son of Sam to the cult network.

On August 10, 1977, the NYPD arrested David Berkowitz for the Son of Sam murders that had terrorized New York City for over a year. Berkowitz confessed to shooting sixteen people and killing six with a .44 caliber Bulldog revolver, and the case was officially closed. Investigative journalist Maury Terry remained unconvinced by the confession. He investigated the murders for several decades, uncovering conflicting witness descriptions of the killer and clues overlooked in the investigation. He became convinced that Berkowitz did not act alone, theorising that the Son of Sam attacks were masterminded by a Yonkers-based cult that was responsible for other ritual murders across the country.

After the author's death in 2015, documentary filmmaker, Josh Zeman, was given access to the files, turning it into a much-followed Netflix series and companion podcast.
