When adoptee Gary L. Stewart first meets his birth mother, he has no idea of the unusual direction to which his journey to learn about his beginnings will lead him: namely, to evidence that his birth father, Earl Van Best, Jr., is the infamous Zodiac Killer. Gary Stewart narrates in a light Louisiana accent, reflecting his Southern origins. He becomes emotional at times when describing his family and his personal history. A self-described fan of the "true crime" genre, Stewart conducts his own investigation into his father's identity, presenting his evidence in the form of family history, reconstructed situations, and details from the Zodiac murders, which took place in California in the late 1960s. His findings are the latest twist in a case that has stumped investigators for decades. S.E.G. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
From the Publisher
I promise that you’ve never read anything like The Most Dangerous Animal of All. Mesmerizing from the first page, the story includes a shattering surprise that will sear itself in your memory. Be prepared to read non-stop; this really is a book you won’t be able to put down.” — Jeff Guinn, author of Manson: The Life and Times of Charles Manson
“Convincing....The author painstakingly pieces together over a decade’s worth of personal research and verbatim interviews with family, friends and law enforcement, then goes further to scrutinize and compare handwriting samples, police sketches and photographs, all bearing uncanny resemblances to recorded documentation from the Zodiac files.” — Kirkus
