How to Find the Zodiac
Book •
In 'How to Find the Zodiac,' Jarrett Kobek follows exhaustive research into fanzines, archival material, and regional records to propose a compelling suspect for the Zodiac killings.
Kobek traces linguistic parallels, mailing traces, and subcultural connections—particularly fanzine and comic communities—to link the letters and ciphers to a specific writer.
The book details the author's methodology, including tracking obscure publications and using primary sources to reconstruct the suspect's activities.
It argues that prior investigations overlooked crucial cultural and documentary evidence that points to an alternative suspect profile.
The book urges renewed forensic and investigative attention to the material evidence and leads it presents.
