Books like "This is the Zodiac speaking" by Michael D. Kelleher
Michael D. Kelleher, assisted by James Van Nuys, investigates the infamous Zodiac Killer who terrorized California in the late 1960s and early 1970s. By reconstructing crime scenes, reviewing police records, and scrutinizing the Zodiac’s taunting letters to newspapers and law enforcement, the authors paint a detailed picture of the case.
Their work debunks many popular legends surrounding the killer and compiles the limited factual evidence that remains. In a controversial conclusion, they propose that the Zodiac may have suffered from multiple personality disorder, a theory grounded in their psychoanalytic reading of his communications.
