Eddie McNamara: Zodiactually, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Who was the Zodiac Killer?
A sadistic murderer who claimed thirty-seven victims? A master manipulator who taunted the police with cryptic letters and mind-bending ciphers.? Or a shadowy figure who terrorized California---and the nation---with an almost supernatural ability to evade capture?

In an era when nearly 80% of homicides were solved, how could this killer escape justice? And more than half a century later, why does his identity remain one of history's greatest mysteries? What if the shocking truth is this: the Zodiac Killer... never existed?

In Zodiactually, former police officer Eddie McNamara peels back decades of myth and sensationalism to expose the chilling truths behind one of the world's most infamous cases. Through painstaking research of original police files, deep dives into newspaper archives, and analysis of thousands of pages of court records, McNamara delivers a groundbreaking revelation: the Zodiac Killer wasn't a single, unstoppable predator but an urban legend amplified by the media and public imagination.

Zodiactually unveils the hidden truths and forgotten stories surrounding the murders that captivated the world---and the fear that turned them into legend. This groundbreaking book will challenge everything you think you know about the Zodiac and force you to confront how myth, media, and hysteria shape history.

Eddie McNamara is the author of the crime novel Brooklyn Hardcore , the vegetarian cookbook Toss Your Own Salad , and the short story collection Two Fare Zone. In a former life, he was a 9 / 11 first responder, police officer, and a columnist for Penthousemagazine.
