Director David Fincher's cut of his acclaimed thriller based on
actual case files surrounding the notorious San Francisco Bay area
murders of the 1970s. As the serial killer known as 'Zodiac' taunts
the police with letters and cryptic clues, reporters and
investigators become increasingly obsessed with finding the
murderer's identity, as the cat and mouse game impacts on their
professional and personal lives. The film stars Jake Gyllenhaal,
Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey Jr.
Robert Graysmith's New York Times bestselling account of the
desperate hunt for a serial killer and his own investigation of
California's unsolved Zodiac murders. A sexual sadist, the Zodiac
killer took pleasure in torture and murder. His first victims were
a teenage couple, stalked and shot dead in a lovers' lane. After
another slaying, he sent his first mocking note to authorities,
promising he would kill more. The official tally of his victims was
six. He claimed thirty-seven dead. The real toll may have reached
fifty. Robert Graysmith was on staff at the San Francisco Chronicle
in 1969 when Zodiac first struck, triggering in the resolute
reporter an unrelenting obsession with seeing the hooded killer
brought to justice. In this gripping account of Zodiac's
eleven-month reign of terror, Graysmith reveals hundreds of facts
previously unreleased, including the complete text of the killer's
letters.
"The New York Times" bestselling author who investigated the Zodiac
case now uncovers a real-life mystery of murder, body doubles, and
obsession. Marli Renfro was a model who played a part in one of the
most iconic scenes in American movies - as Janet Leigh's nude body
double in Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" - only to fade into
obscurity, a footnote in Hollywood history. It wasn't until 1988
that Marli Renfro made news again - raped and murdered by a serial
killer with a fetish for the classic Hitchcock shocker. But as
Graysmith investigated Marli's story, a nagging doubt entered his
mind. What if Marli was still alive? What if another woman had been
murdered in her place? And if Marli was still alive, would he ever
find her? The line between art and reality is blurred in this
astonishing coda to one of the most memorable screen murders of all
time, and to a real-life crime that one man was determined to
solve.
Robert Graysmith reveals the true identity of Zodiac-America's most
elusive serial killer. Between December 1968 and October 1969 a
hooded serial killer called Zodiac terrorized San Francisco.
Claiming responsibility for thirty-seven murders, he manipulated
the media with warnings, dares, and bizarre cryptograms that
baffled FBI code-breakers. Then as suddenly as the murders began,
Zodiac disappeared into the Bay Area fog. After painstaking
investigation and more than thirty years of research, Robert
Graysmith finally exposes Zodiac's true identity. With overwhelming
evidence he reveals the twisted private life that led to the
crimes, and provides startling theories as to why they stopped.
America's greatest unsolved mystery has finally been solved.

actual case files surrounding the notorious San Francisco Bay area
murders of the 1970's. As the serial killer known as 'Zodiac'

"Psycho." When she disappeared, it was believed she was the victim
of a serial killer. It was a mystery that took decades to solve-and
a crime that could only have happened in Hollywood.
