This Is The Zodiac Speaking
By Michael D. Kelleher and David Van Nuys
Praeger Publishers, December 2001
Buy
at Amazon.com
---------------------------------------
This Is The Zodiac Speaking has author and criminal profiler Michael Kelleher
tackling the Zodiac case. Kelleher effectively uses his own expertise to paint a picture
of the Zodiac while employing psychologist David Van Nuys to examine the killer's many
taunting letters. The result is an excellent study of the Zodiac case, with fascinating
insight and plenty of spirited debate between Kelleher and Van Nuys.
This Is The Zodiac Speaking might be light on graphics and other material the
reader can easily access elsewhere, such as the Internet. However, the book is the heavy
hitter in its field and is a must-read for Zodiac buffs. |

Times 17
By Gareth Penn
Foxglove Press, December 1989
Buy
at Amazon.com
-----------------------------------
Author Gareth Penn "solves" the Zodiac crimes by using binary mathematics and
Morse code to identify a suspect. No, I'm not kidding. Therefore, not only does Times
17 read like a math book viewed through beer goggles, it's only half the fun. It's
also extremely hard to find a copy, but that's the good news. The bad news? [15]:Abs[ x y]
= Zodiac. Or something like that.
Allegedly a member of Mensa, Penn must be a smart guy. Is he smart enough to quit writing
books? We can only hope.
