Perfect for you if...

  • You're fascinated by unsolved cases and want the primary source material rather than someone's interpretation of it.
  • You listen to true crime podcasts and appreciate detailed, methodical reporting over sensationalised storytelling.
  • You enjoy the puzzle element of the Zodiac's ciphers and coded messages as much as the criminal psychology.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer narrative-driven true crime that reads like a thriller, not a collection of transcripts and documents.
  • You're looking for definitive answers and new breakthroughs, not a thorough chronicle of what we already know.
  • You find graphic crime scene details upsetting and need books that handle violence with gentleness.

About this book

A complete chronicle of the Zodiac serial killer investigation from the creators of the Criminology podcast. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, a serial killer terrorized the San Francisco Bay area, communicating with police and newspapers through letters, cryptic ciphers, and taunting phone calls before disappearing without warning. In the first season of their podcast Criminology, Michael Morford and Mike Ferguson examine this notorious cold case using actual case files, documents, and police reports. This volume presents the podcast series in written form, supplemented with added commentary, photographs, and documents.
