This book re-examines a bunch of the evidence surrounding the Zodiac serial killer. Kobek did a great job of pointing out the discrepancies within the letters and writings attributed to the Zodiac, which have mostly been ignored by other books and in many cases the police as well. He puts forth a very cogent argument about the authenticity of several of the Zodiac missives. However, since this was a print on demand effort, it could’ve used a good bit of editing. Kobek is a very skilled and competent writer, but the book was rife with typos, grammatical errors, and repeated words. Outside of the poor editing that distracted a bit from the message, this would’ve probably earned 5 stars. Definitely looking forward to reading the next in the series.

As dense as they come - which is both its strength and weakness - but if you like true crime and research and California, it's not to be missed.

Here is a relatively good book on the Zodiac case that presents it's information well. However this book is in desperate need of an editor and a slap in the face to the author for inserting his bashful leftist opinions. Kobek seems to have no respect for the victims and seems to be compensating for something with his unnecessary distaste for Christianity.

The story is definitely a very detailed description of Zodiac killer, however the amount of details and the narration style made it difficult to follow (personally) and get lost in the book.

So much rambling. So many incomplete thoughts. The Zodiac info is good, but the tangents got really old really fast.

Just an incredible reading experience. Unmatched. Couldn’t recommend it more.
