Books
Two books on the subject have been published, Zebra (1979), by Clark Howard, which is out of print though is available here, and The Zebra Murders: A Season of Killing, Racial Madness, and Civil Rights (2006) by Prentice Earl Sanders and Bennett Cohen. Howard's book is a true crime novel based on trial transcripts, interviews with those involved, and other sources. Sanders, who would become San Francisco's first black police chief, took part in the investigation while working as a homicide detective for the San Francisco Police Department. Sanders and Cohen's book puts the killings and the investigation within the context of race relations in San Francisco at the time, and particularly within the inner politics of the SFPD.

Famous quotes containing the word books:
“All books are either dreams or swords,
You can cut, or you can drug, with words.”
—Amy Lowell (1874–1925)
“I am absent altogether too much to be a suitable instructor for a law-student. When a man has reached the age that Mr. Widner has, and has already been doing for himself, my judgment is, that he reads the books for himself without an instructor. That is precisely the way I came to the law.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
