The Zebra Murders is the riveting story of the racially-motivated serial killings--black on white--- that terrorized San Francisco in the fall and winter of 1973-74, and how they were solved by a team spearheaded by two trailblazing black detectives. Told by the city's first African-American police chief, who was one of those detectives, it is also the inspiring account of one of the landmark battles in the struggle for civil rights, led by the very officers who were at the forefront of the Zebra investigation.
