"This is the Zodiac speaking. I like killing people because it is so much fun...the most thrilling experience..." This shocking true crime classic is now a major movie. A sexual sadist, the Zodiac's pleasure was torture and murder. He taunted the authorities with mocking notes telling where he would strike next. The official tally of his victims was six. He claimed 37 dead. He was never caught. Author Robert Graysmith tells the inside story of the hunt for the hooded killer, and finally reveals his possible true identity. The new movie "Zodiac" is based on this book. Directed by David Fincher ("Fight Club"), it stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Graysmith himself, Robert Downey Jr and Chloe Sevigny.

Usually with biographies and accounts, the detail is sparse, as the author is writing retrospectively or pretending they actualy know something about the subject. But not with this book. Graysmith was part of the investigation and his insight and true accounts is both terrifying and relentless. No details left out. Its very analytical and methodical in its writing style, as Graysmith like the Police was and still is trying to determine Zodiac's true identity. This book is not biased and offers only the truth no matter how horrifying. An absolute classic.
A Must Read
