«ZODIAC», 1986
San Francisco Chronicle
Zodiac is not one of those things,
he is a terrible mythical killer in the
flesh that came out in Northern
California in 1968.
The thing is, he was an objective
and self-assured killer who sent
encrypted letters to the police and
major American newspapers, with
the objective of telling them about
the murders that had already been
committed and making promises
about new ones, and the promises
were not yielding at all.

Plot
The book comes on with a description of the initial murder came about. In
December 1968, Zodiac shot a couple of high school students who were on
their first date.
In 1969, he killed another couple and called the police to report it.
The third couple was attacked by the killer with a knife. And it was not an odd
coincidence.
Between the second and third crimes, the assured killer began sending letters
with encrypted messages to the newspapers
Everyone tried to solve them, but only the history teacher and his wife could.
But how was it that even experts from the FBI and other organizations could
not unravel the code? That’s not clear, it is a true mystery, I can tell you…

In the same year, Zodiac shot and killed a taxi driver and was walking calmly
after the crime when he came across the inattentive police.
Robert Graysmith decided to take the initiative in the whole investigation
process. No one wanted to attend and share the information, the letters with
the evidence disappeared without any attention.
In San Francisco, Dave Toski was in assurance and charge of the case.
there was Arthur Lee Allen who was the main suspected of all crimes, but all
accusation against him was both well-grounded and groundless at the same
time according to all reassurance, evidence and events.
As a result, Zodiac was not caught and is unknown even to these days.
