- Summary:
- The Black Dahlia murder hit post-World War II in Los Angeles like a bombshell--and this impenetrable mystery remains the haunting crown jewel of LAPD's unsolved murder cases to this day. Even before her savage death, beautiful 22-year-old Elizabeth Short, an aspiring starlet and nightclub habitue, was known as the Black Dahlia. Since her horrific demise, the Black Dahlia has become a magnetic loon in American pop culture, a mythical symbol of noir Hollywood. --Back cover.
