Book Reviews of "This Is the Zodiac Speaking": Into the Mind of a Serial Killer
Book Review: Best book written on the Zodiac case
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the Zodiac Speaking is a joint venture between Michael D. Kelleher and David Van Nuys, Ph.D. and is a must-have for any serious researcher. The book paints a picture of an exceptionally cold-hearted killer whose propensity for violence was surpassed only by his incredible ability to play the media and to constantly adapt and evolve, a tactic that allowed him to stay several steps ahead of the police at all times.
Kelleher and Van Nuys stick to the known facts of the case and don't repeat the glaring mistakes that other authors and researchers have made in this case (such as focusing on a single suspect or claiming to have "solved" the Zodiac murders).
Scholarly, well-written and highly recommended.

Summary of "This Is the Zodiac Speaking": Into the Mind of a Serial Killer
California was thrown into a paralysis of fear in 1969, horrified by the elusive Zodiac serial killer. The Zodiac became the most enigmatic and frustrating adversary ever encountered by the law enforcement community in the San Francisco Bay Area. Over 30 years later, the Zodiac killings remain unsolved. The authors analyze the Zodiac's crimes and supply psychological insight to his letters providing a glimpse into the mind of a mysterious murderer.Criminology Books
