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.

“Films and gramophone records, music, books and buildings show clearly how vigorously a man’s life and work go on after his “death,” whether we feel it or not, whether we are aware of the individual names or not.... There is no such thing as death according to our view!”
