Synopsis

The gruesome murder of hopeful starlet Elizabeth Short, in the noir-tinged Los Angeles of 1947, has a permanent place in American lore as one of the most inscrutable of true-crime mysteries. Now, Piu Eatwell—relentless legal sleuth and atmospheric stylist—cracks the case after seventy years. With recently unredacted FBI files, newly released sections of the LAPD files, and explosive new interviews, Eatwell has unprecedented access to primary evidence and a persuasive culprit. She layers her findings into a gritty, cinematic retelling of the case from the corrupt LAPD and the take-no-prisoners press to the seedy underworld of would-be actresses and the men who preyed on them. In mesmerizing prose, Black Dahlia, Red Rose is a panorama of 1940s Hollywood, a definitive account of one of the biggest unsolved murders of American legal history.

True crime par vienu noziegumu, kurš, pateicoties preses iesaistīšanai, kļuvis teju par vienu no ASV popkultūras daļām. Stāsts par neatklāto Melnās Dālijas slepkavību LA 1947. gadā. Lasot nāk prātā slavenais teiciens no Ēzopa fabulām - "esi uzmanīgs ar savām vēlmēm, jo tās var piepildīties!" Tā noti......more

Goodreads review by Rachel on September 09, 2017

The Black Dahlia murder case remains a brutal unsolved mystery murder case. Committed by someone familiar with surgical techniques, the murder of twenty-two year old Elizabeth Short, the so-called Black Dahlia because of the lingerie she wore and her jet-black hair. The investigation has never been......more

Goodreads review by Ionia on July 29, 2017

Because so much has been written about this infamous cold-case, I didn't expect there would be a lot of new information in this book, but I was pleasantly surprised by how the author managed to dig out details I hadn't read about before. I love crime books and particularly historical crime nonfictio......more
