The book is about Gary Stewart and his biological father Earl Van Best Junior. Gary was orphaned and sought out the identity of his biological father. As he searched for his father he discovered many compelling pieces of evidence to suggest Earl Van Best Junior was Zodiac.

It is fascinating and I rate it a 5 because the evidence is strong and the story is compelling.

The serial killer from 55 years ago is Earl Van Best Junior.

The finger cut picture is not the only piece of evidence. Even the finger print analyst that offered to look at it states that the quality of the prints was not enough to declare a match. The finger cut is just one more piece of a large body of evidence to support Van Best Junior as the Zodiac.

I am a real good reader.

I do not believe this book was only a money maker. I assume a large amount of money was made off of it. Stewart states that he wrote this because he felt it would help bring closure to the families of Zodiac victims. I also sense that writing this was therapeutic for Stewart and a celebration of his victory. He clearly put a lot of work and dedication into finding his biological father. Meeting his biological mother was life changing. This book seems to be his way to celebrate a life changing experience.(less)
