A half century after the shadowy killer known as Zodiac terrorized Northern California, the case remains stubbornly stalled despite the massive gains made in solving cold cases in recent years. Writer Glenn Wall introduces a new suspect, and theory to explain why. Supported by witness statements, documentation, and evidence, he builds a case against a ruthless killer whose criminal escapades and playing of the U.S. criminal justice system were too much a threat to many people who held power in high places to ever be allowed to see the light of day ... until now. "In Zodiac Maniac, Wall makes a persuasive case that Thoresen was also the Zodiac killer who murdered many in California in the 1960s when he lived there." -David A. F. Sweet, Classic Chicago Magazine "The indefatigable Wall builds a compelling case that an unhinged Kenilworth man named William Thoresen III-who moved to San Francisco in the 1960s-was the monster behind the carnage in at least Illinois and California. The cold case gets toastier, thanks to Wall's digging." -Bill McLean, The North Shore Weekend
