"SHE WAS YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL BUT NOW SHE IS BATTERED AND DEAD. SHE IS NOT THE FIRST AND SHE WILL NOT BE THE LAST." Few cases in the history of true crime are as colorful and intriguing as that of Zodiac, the bizarre gunman in an executioner's hood who hunted the streets of San Francisco in the late 1960s and sent dozens of taunting letters to the police. Robert Graysmith provides ample details about the police investigation, including the full text and photos of most of the letters. Zodiac is an excellent starting point not only for the casual reader, but also for those interested in retracing the author's steps in order to pursue their own ideas about who the killer may have been. This book has been praised by the San Francisco Chronicle, the very paper in which the Zodiac's eerie messages and cryptograms were published: "Graysmith's taut narrative brings the horror back with jolt upon jolt."

From Library Journal
From 1968 to the early 1970s, the self-styled "Zodiac" killer made headlines in the San Francisco Bay Area. In random attacks, he is known to have murdered six persons; in a series of letters to newspapers, which sometimes included cryptograms, he boasted of many more. To this day, the infamous case remains unsolved and surprisingly little has been written about it. Graysmith, a San Francisco Chronicle staff member, was obsessed with the case from the beginning and he has continued to investigate it as an amateur sleuth. Except for "Zodiac" himself, the author now knows more about the case than anyone. In this full, chronological account, which will fascinate true crime readers, he speculates about the most likely suspect. Recommended. Gregor A. Preston, Univ. of California Lib., Davis

Format:Taschenbuch
This was the first book I ever read in the true crime genre. After a few, I realised it was a good class act to start with. This book was not a guide book for future serial killers like so many newer ones are, and has respect for the victims and family. This book sets out to find out who the Zodiac killer is, and after his death, it was revealed the person GraySmith pointed his finger at was indeed the killer. I don't know if it has been updated in the book since then, my version was older. I loved the detective work that went with the story.

I literally, could not put this book down. I read it in one long sleepless go. True crime is one of my fav genres and there is nothing like this book. This guy never got caught. He wrote the paper the author worked for DARING them to catch him. Giving them evidence and weird, cryptic clues. The author investigates suspects himself. At points you wouldn't be surprised to see him get shot at. This story has EVERYTHING a crime reader would want. Read this book and you'll be wondering if the Zodiac is still out there. Is he reading this now?
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is a fast-paced, well-researched account of the Zodiac killer, who terrorized San Francisco in the mid to late sixtees. Serial killers often get caught or give themselves up. This one has remained elusive to this day. The accounts of the police ivestigations, tactics, and personal reactions were well written. I will always remember this book and its victims.
