Graysmith masterfully reconstructs the complex investigation, revealing baffling clues and the eventual capture of a suspect whose unassuming appearance masked a monstrous nature. His middle-aged facade—balding, bespectacled, and stammering—hid the depravity of his crimes. Explore the dark heart of a serial killer in this true crime masterpiece.
