About this listen

After Jack the Ripper and before Son of Sam there was only one name their equal in terror: the deadly, elusive, and mysterious Zodiac. Beginning in 1968 the hooded mass murderer terrified the city of San Francisco and the Bay Area with a string of brutal killings. A sexual sadist, his pleasure was torture and murder. His first victims were a teenage couple, stalked and shot dead in a lover's lane. After another slaying, he sent his first mocking note to authorities, promising he would kill again. The official tally of his victims was six. The real toll may have reached 50. He was never caught. Graysmith, who was on the staff of the San Francisco Chronicle at the time of the murders, gives this gripping account of Zodiac's reign of terror.©1976 Robert Graysmith (P)2006 Blackstone Audiobooks Murder True Crime Crime Scary Exciting

Critic reviews

"Provocative....Bizarre....Graysmith's taut narrative brings the horror back with jolt upon jolt." ( San Francisco Chronicle)
"Will fascinate true-crime readers." ( Library Journal)
All stars
Most relevant
A solid, interesting, investigation of the infamous unidentified murderer. It is necessary, because of the type of work it is, to concentrate upon it rather fully or one loses the thread of evidence. Not, therefore a light listen but it is gripping and I looked forward to the next session each time I hung up my headphones for the day. As is inevitable with this type of true crime, there cannot be the truly satisfying conclusion of - say - a novel but the author presents his case(s) clearly.

It is well and appropriately read and the Mr. Rudnicki, the reader, even manages to endear himself enough to compensate for the author's more than occasional self-congratulation that might otherwise have been a little grating.

And spooky music at the end. Story is good but forever frustrating because we are no closer to the truth by the end.

Nice spooky music to kick off

The zodiac has always interested me, and the way the case was handled by SFPD goes to show how far policing and technology has come since the 60's and 70's.

great book, well worth a listen!

The film is based on the book so it helps picturing them.the darlene murder seems strange because in the film as the zodiac killer drives past she seems to know who it is

Watch the fincher film as well
