The killer teased and taunted the police and public for weeks, but his identity stayed a mystery, and the murder remained the most tantalizing unsolved case of the last century, until this book revealed the bizarre solution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSteve Hodel, a retired LAPD detective, took up the case, reviewing the original evidence and records as well as those of a separate grand jury investigation into a series of murders of single women in LA at the time. The prime suspect had in fact been identified, but never indicted. Why? And who was he? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn an account that will remind movie lovers of both \u003ci\u003eLA Confidential\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eZodiac\u003c\/i\u003e, for the corruption it exposes and the insight it offers into a serial killer's mind, Hodel demonstrates that there was a massive police cover-up. Even more shocking, he proves that the murderer, a true-life Jekyll and Hyde who was a highly respected member of society by day and a psychopathic killer by night, was his own father. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis edition of the book includes new findings and photographs added after the original publication, together with a new postscript by the author.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteve Hodel\u003c\/b\u003e was born and brought up in Los Angeles.
