Why is There No Definitive Book on the Zodiac Case?
I have always been surprised and frustrated that there is no definitive, or even competent, book dealing with the Zodiac case.
I think that most people would agree that the case is probably the most famous unsolved crime in American history (the JFK assassination excepted), so why is there no book dealing with the case that matches up to those of Paul Begg and
Philip Sugden, not forgetting the very many excellent books by other authors relating to the case.
The Zodiac case has spawned two hugely unreliable books by Robert Graysmith
and a few others approaching the case from the point of view of, "my dad did it", "my neighbour did it", "a rogue cop did it".
In a case where many of those directly involved in the zodiac case are still alive, it is a mystery why a writer of proven ability, relying on contemporary documents and statements has never tackled the case.
That's it off my chest, I'm feeling much better now.
