Book Reviews of Solving the Zodiac: The Zodiac Killer Case Files
Book Review: Excellent Beginners Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Evidence is the core basis for solving any homicide and ensuring a conviction. Without strong evidence, the prosecution will never accept a case because they know a jury will never convict. As an investigator it is your responsibility to research, locate, analyze and tie physicial evidence to a suspect. In the case of The Zodiac, this has never been accomplished. Instead, there have been dozens of suspects, many who have been tried in the court of public opinion, yet none whom have been tied to any physical evidence. Conspiracy theorists, amateur sleuths, reporters and even law enforcement authorities have named suspects as the killer, but nobody has ever been able to bring The Zodiac to justice.
Perhaps with this book you can take the foray into the evidence, by reading the police reports (typed up and yes, even redacted properly) perusing the crime scene photographs or perhaps even solving the 340 symbol cipher (good luck on the 340 cipher)
All of the information in the book is readily available elsewhere, like on Tom Voigt's site, however it's quite nice to have the police reports in a typed form and to have the letters and ciphers all in one handy and elegant book.
A full scale reproduction of the letters with the envelopes, because the envelopes have a story to tell and are also very important evidence. Also a more verbose bibliography and index would have been welcomed.
If you're familiar with the case, this book might not be for you, but for the beginner I can't recommend this book enough!
