  Including never-before-seen photos and handwritten letters from Bundy, Dark Tide’s message is as gut-wrenching 
  as it is clear, asking the question: how well do we know those we trust most? 
  Edna’s world turned upside down when her close cousin, Ted Bundy, was linked to the gruesome murders that 
  had plagued her hometown of Seattle. Both devastating and dangerous, she reveals her journey of discovering 
  the truth about her cousin who was more like a sibling, a man she loved, admired, and thought she knew 
  so well. Edna delves into the unbelievable and chilling episodes she experienced, from confronting Ted and 
  discovering a side of him she never suspected to waking to the FBI at her door after he escaped jail. 
  Whether searching memories for signs she’d missed or detailing scenes of life under the radar in a world still 
  fixated on her cousin, Edna’s account tells the Ted Bundy story from a critical, new perspective: someone who 
  called him family.

  "The Zodiac Revisited is a well-organized and brilliantly presented work. It's highly recommended." -- Readers' Favorite 5-star review (Volume 1). 
  "Must read... An insightful and intriguing view of the reign of terror that unfolded for nearly a decade in San Francisco." -- Reedsy Discovery 5-star review (Volume 1). 
  Understand History's Most Enigmatic Serial Killer 
  In December of 1968, a serial killer began orchestrating a campaign of terror in the San Francisco Bay Area. Not satisfied with the simple act of murder, he taunted law enforcement and the public by writing letters to local newspapers. Through often cryptic and bizarre content--including four ciphers, three (now two) of which have never been solved--the psychopath played a twisted game. Reporters dubbed the man the "Cipher Killer," but the murderer chose a different name for himself: the Zodiac. Eventually, he would claim to have murdered thirty-seven. Law enforcement, however, could only account for five. 
  In 1971, authenticated communications with the Zodiac ceased. The elusive fugitive resurfaced briefly three years later, sending a small number of communiqués, before disappearing for good. What started out with shocking abruptness slowly dissolved into mysterious uncertainty. To this day, the Zodiac's true identity remains one of the twentieth century's greatest mysteries... 
  In the final volume of The Zodiac Revisited, Michael uses the insights developed in Volume 2 to reexamine the killer's letters and crimes as well as the possibility that the killer committed a series of murders in Southern California.

  The New York Times bestselling coauthors uncover new information in the Colonial Parkway Murders of 1980s Virginia in this true crime investigation.   For four years a killer, or killers, stalked Virginia’s Tidewater region, carefully selecting victims and terrorizing the local community. Again and again, young people in the prime of their lives were targeted. But the pattern that stitched these killings together was more like a spider web of theory, intrigue, and mathematics. Then, mysteriously, the killing spree stopped. The unknown predator, or predators, who stalked the Colonial Parkway seemingly disappeared. Now, father-daughter true crime authors Blaine Pardoe and Victoria Hester blow the dust off of these cases. Interviewing the victims’ family and friends, as well as members of law enforcement, they provide the most complete and in-depth look at these horrifying murders and disappearances. The author-investigators peel back the rumors and myths surrounding these crimes and provide new information never before revealed about the investigations.  “Remarkable research and a compelling narrative…relentless and harrowing.”—Burl Barer, author of Betrayal in Blue
