Graysmith receives a well-deserved beating in the new Butterfield book. And I agree with Barn about Hewitt. The first two are excellent and the third jumps the shark.

I acquired the kindle version of Butterfields book. $4.99.
So far so good.
The other Zodiac volume I was interested in is In the Shadow of Mt. Diablo.

Yea, I've read the Rodelli book.Originally posted by scottnapa View Post
It's not a bad book, but the book is written from the author's point of view as he follows the twists and turns of the case, and gradually homes in on one particular suspect.
To my mind, Rodelli's suspect is probably the most outlandish suspect ever mooted in the case.
If you are looking for a good introduction to the case, I would rcommend the first two books by Mark Hewitt, but not the final book in the trilogy, where as JMenges astutely observes, the author "jumps the shark".
