*New York Times* bestselling author Robert Graysmith’s definitive account details his relentless investigation into California's unsolved Zodiac murders.

From 1969, a sexual sadist known as the Zodiac Killer terrorized Northern California, stalking and murdering victims, sending mocking letters to authorities, and claiming dozens of lives. While officials tallied six victims, the killer boasted thirty-seven, with the true toll potentially reaching fifty.

Then a staffer at the *San Francisco Chronicle*, Graysmith became profoundly obsessed with unmasking the hooded killer. This gripping narrative chronicles the Zodiac’s terrifying eleven-month reign, revealing hundreds of previously unreleased facts and the complete, chilling text of the killer’s infamous letters.
