I read this book because I didn't know a lot about the Zodiac murders and thought it would offer an interesting insight. It was an interesting, if somewhat repetitive read. The concept behind it being a psychologist analyses the Zodiac letters, initially unaware of what he is looking at, and tries to deduce something of the personality behind the person responsible for the murders. Whilst this book does not make much if any headway into identifying who the Zodiac might be, it was interesting to read the interpretation of the letters. Having said that, it would not be too difficult for any trained analyst to draw similar conclusions. I think we are simply going over old ground here with a bit more of an intellectual spin. Nothing leaps off the page and the psychologist qualifies his conclusions in a 'just in case I'm wrong I don't want to look like a fool' kind of way. An interesting account of the history of the killings and look at the correspondence, but to me, does not deliver as soundly as it could. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
California was thrown into a paralysis of fear in 1969, distraught over the unsolved murders of the Zodiac killer. The Zodiac became the most elusive and frustrating adversary ever encountered by the law enforcement community in the San Francisco Bay Area. A series of letters, allegedly written by the murderer himself and published in local newspapers, only added to the mystery and panic. Over 30 years after he exploded onto the headlines of the San Francisco Chronicle, the Zodiac serial killer remains an enigma that is unparalleled in the history of crime in America, and the case remains unsolved. Violence expert Michael Kelleher and psychologist David Van Nuys attempt to provide a glimpse into the mind of this mysterious murderer. Kelleher and Van Nuys reconstruct the crime scenes, delve into the records, and psychoanalyze the Zodiac's letters to newspapers and the law enforcement agencies. The facts of the case and the fragmentary glimpses of the Zodiac's psychodynamics that came through his letters forced the authors, reluctantly, to draw a conclusion that is sure to be controversial-namely, that the Zodiac suffered from multiple personality disorder. They also debunk many popular legends and myths about the case, laying out the limited facts that we do have on the notorious Zodiac. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
