An explosive and historic New York Times bestseller of true crime and an emotionally powerful and revelatory memoir of a man whose ten-year search for his biological father leads to a chilling discovery: His father is one of the most notorious-and still at large-serial killers in America

Soon after his birthmother contacted him for the first time at the age of thirty-nine, adoptee Gary L. Stewart decided to search for his biological father. It was a quest that would lead him to a horrifying truth and force him to reconsider everything he thought he knew about himself and his world.

Written with award-winning author and journalist Susan D. Mustafa, The Most Dangerous Animal of All tells the story of Stewart’s decade-long hunt for his father following a complex trail of startling twists and connections. Combing through government records and news reports and through conversations with his father’s relatives and friends, Stewart turns up a host of clues, including forensic evidence, identifying his father as one of the most infamous and still-wanted serial killers in American history.

Any additional comments?

I think the Zodiac killings are fascinating and was exciting to download the newest in the serial killers' saga. I found myself disenchanted with this book until the final part. If you are a fan of true crime and/or the Zodiac killer, stick it out until the final pages of the book and you won't be disappointed.

Interesting, but not what I expected

I enjoyed this book at first, but is seemed to drag on forever before it ended. I am sure it is because they wanted to get all of the facts about the killer in the story. I gave it 4 stars.

Engrossing! I Couldn't Stop Listening.

A moving, engrossing memoir, read by the author in a simple, heartfelt manner. I highly recommend this book.

narrator takes a little getting used to.

Sounds like he's reading a children's book to an 8 year old. Still a good book though.

Tough Story

This was a really tough story to listen to. It is the story of a local man who, in looking for his birth parents, finds that his birth father is a serial killer. He wrote and narrated the book himself and did an excellent job. Lots of research and documentation went into creating a deep but troubling story.

Cool story

Im not really sure if i believe that his dad is really the zodiac killer but it was a cool and compelling story.

Interesting Book!

This book recounts the life of a man who was taken, then abandoned by his father while still a young infant. His birth mother finds him when he's in his thirties and this leads him to learn about his father who, Zodiac Killer or not, was a sadistic sociopath who married his mother when she was 14 and then abandoned her and every subsequent wife and family he acquired after that.

Great Addition to the Zodiac Story

I loved this memoir. It seemed to fly by. I know some people do not like it because they do not believe it is true, but for someone going in with an open mind, it's amazing! Highly recommend!

Zodiac? Probably not...

Fascinating story, well-read by author with too many details. Theory stitched together with circumstantial evidence.

Great Story, Not Really Believeable

This story is very well written and narrated but I'm not sure I can buy what he's selling.
