Robert Graysmith's New York Times bestselling account of the
desperate hunt for a serial killer and his own investigation of
California's unsolved Zodiac murders.
A sexual sadist, the Zodiac killer took pleasure in torture and murder.
His first victims were a teenage couple, stalked and shot dead in a
lovers' lane. After another slaying, he sent his first mocking note to
authorities, promising he would kill more. The official tally of his
victims was six. He claimed thirty-seven dead. The real toll may have
reached fifty.
Robert Graysmith was on staff at the San Francisco Chronicle in 1969
when Zodiac first struck, triggering in the resolute reporter an
unrelenting obsession with seeing the hooded killer brought to justice.
In this gripping account of Zodiac's eleven-month reign of terror,
Graysmith reveals hundreds of facts previously unreleased, including the
complete text of the killer's letters.
