Black Dahlia, Red Rose : the crime, corruption, and cover-up of America's greatest unsolved murder

Eatwell, Piu Marie (author.).

Summary: Los Angeles, 1947. The mutilated body of Elizabeth Short, an aspiring starlet from Massachusetts is found; her killer never would be. As the "Black Dahlia" she became a warning for 'loose' women in postwar America, and her death has maintained an almost mythic place in American lore. Eatwell gained access to newly released evidence and has persuasively identified the culprit, using clues to the case that have never surfaced in public.
