Twenty Years after shocking the world in Los Angeles, could Dr. George Hill Hodel have returned to terrorize California as the killer known as Zodiac?
When veteran LAPD homicide detective Steve Hodel discovered that his late father had known the victim of the infamous Black Dahlia murder case in 1947 Los Angeles, the ensuing three-year investigation became the "New York Times" bestseller "Black Dahlia Avenger." Publication led directly to the discovery of a cache of hidden documents covered up for decades, that confirm George Hodel had long been law enforcement's number one suspect in Elizabeth Short's grisly death. A lurid murder mystery that had endured for more than fifty years was finally resolved.
But for Steve Hodel, that revelation was only the beginning. With twenty-five years of experience investigating homicides, Hodel's instincts told him that a man capable of bisecting Elizabeth Short's body, arranging it in gruesome and public tableau, and taunting the police and public with notes and phone calls, did not begin or end his killing career with the Black Dahlia.
In "Most Evil," Steve Hodel compiles never-before-seen visual, circumstantial, and forensic evidence to make the case that his father was a prolific serial killer whose signature is visible not in any single method of murder, type of victim, or specific killing ground, but rather as a series of complex arrangements, installations, and obscure references to art, culture and film, that, taken together, reveal a chilling and never-before-documented variety of serial murder: murder as a fine art. Among his crimes may be some of the most enduring and infamous murders of the last century, including Chicago's "Lipstick Murders" in 1945 Chicago, the "Jigsaw Murdered" in Manila, as well as the series of killings in California in the 1960's by the man who called himself Zodiac.
Steve Hodel's relentless and compelling investigation, detailed in "Most Evil," revolutionizes the way we think about some of the most brutal and previously unconnected murders in American history--and may change our understanding of serial killers altogether.

Judgment Regarding Books Most Evil: Avenger, Zodiac, and the Further Serial Murders of Dr. George Hill Hodel

"... I stumbled on the investigation into my father's criminal past by accident."Steve Hodel stuns in his compilation of information linking his father to some of the world's most mysterious and troubling murders. Hodel travels through time to discover that his father was a monster of the worst kind. Rather than pushing the evidence aside, he has done what few would ever do... He's continued to push forward with his investigation, uncovering more and more unsettling information about the

A frightening book. Having just finished it, I'm still digesting some of Hodel's theories. It's hard to say, "Yes, I completely believe in his father's guilt" since as Hodel explains his evidence is circumstantial. That being said, it does feel like the author is onto something.

Pretty far-fetched tale, it seems like Hodel is desperate to confirm his father as a mega monster. Repetitive at times and often overwrought.

What the world?This book started out fast and ended fast.I picked it up in my local Dollar Tree book selection... sorry author.I started reading it right there in the isle and when I realized I was into the 2nd chapter. I bought it and read it all night long. Very interesting and makes you wonder... could a serial killer really have come back as two different serial killers... even the ZODIAC??!!4 stars!!!!

Maybe he tapped my credulous side, but I came away from reading Hodel's stuff feeling that his dad is definitely the BD killer and most likely the Zodiac Killer as well. If anything, he certainly suspended my disbelief.

Steve Hodel was an LA homicide detective for 20+ years. In his first book, published about five years ago, The Black Dahlia Avenger, Hodel names his father, George Hill Hodel, as the killer. In this most recent book, Most Evil: The Further Serial Murders of Dr. George Hodel, Steve Hodel names his father as the Chicago Lipstick Killer and as Zodiac, the infamous (and never caught) San Francisco serial killer of the 1960s and 1970s.Oh but wait there's more: Dr. George Hodel was indeed and in fact

I don't know if this guy is delusional or just plain crazy. I could not make it through this book.I read his first book about his dad being the Black Dahlia Killer and some points were made but I was still not convinced he did it. Now this latest book says his father was the Zodiac killer? And responsible for James Ellroy's mother's murder? Now that's stretching it quite a bit. Without any physical evidence I think Steve Hodel is just looking for attention.
