About this listen

On January 15, 1947, the naked, dismembered body of a black-haired beauty, Elizabeth Short, was discovered lying next to a pavement in a Hollywood suburb. She was quickly nicknamed The Black Dahlia. The homicide enquiry that followed consumed Los Angeles for years, and the authorities blew millions of dollars of resources on an investigation that threw up dozens of suspects. But it never was solved - until now.

Piu Eatwell for the first time reveals compelling evidence, both forensic and eyewitness, which finally points to the identity of the murderer. This is a dark tale of sex, manipulation, orgies, obsession, psychopathy and one of the biggest police cover-ups in history. The case was immortalised in James Ellroy's famous novel based on the case, in Kenneth Anger's Hollywood Babylon and in Brian de Palma's movie.

Entertaining and well-researched.

I've read a number of books on the Black Dahlia, but few as thorough and enjoyable as this one. The go-to book for anyone wanting the true and detailed facts about the life and murder of Elizabeth Short. The narrator has a rich, well-modulated voice.
