Zodiac Unmasked: The Identity of America's Most Elusive Serial Killer Revealed

Robert Graysmith

"Zodiac Unmasked basically was a book that picked up where the author Robert Graysmith left off with his first book, just called Zodiac. It's about the Zodiac killings that happened in the Bay Area back in the late 60's and early 70's. In the first book, he did come to a conclusion. He said that he felt that the police and other investigators looking at the case had pretty much narrowed it down to a particular person; but he gave this person a pseudonym so when Zodiac Unmasked came out, he actually named this person, and the primary suspect is Arthur Lee Allen, who has since passed away. He expounded upon this person, gave his life history --

I would recommend that if you are a true crime fan, this is a good book for you, but if you are unfamiliar with the Zodiac case, I wouldn't start with this book. I would start with Robert Graysmith's first book, just called Zodiac, and in there, he gives most of the details of the crimes and the crime scenes themselves and gives a real good introduction. I think it's a five-star book."
