About this product

Product Information

In 1946, Elizabeth Short traveled to Hollywood to become famous and see her name up in lights. Instead, the dark-haired beauty became immortalized in the headlines as the Black Dahlia when her nude and bisected body was discovered in the weeds of a vacant lot. Despite the efforts of more than four hundred police officers and homicide investigators, the heinous crime was never solved. Now, after endless speculation and false claims, bestselling author Donald H. Wolfe discovers startling new evidence--buried in the files of the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office for more than half a century. With the aid of archival photos, news clippings, and investigative reports, Wolfe documents the riveting untold story that names the brutal murderer--the notorious Mafia leader, Benjamin Bugsy Siegel--and the motive--an unwanted pregnancy resulting from Short's involvement with the most powerful figure in Los Angeles, Norman Chandler. But Wolfe goes even further to unravel the large-scale cover-up behind the case. Wolfe's extensive research, based on the evidence he discovered in the recently opened LADA files, makes The Black Dahlia Files the authoritative work on the murder that has drawn endless scrutiny but remained unsolved--until now. --John Gilmore, author of Severed

Reviews
"The most credible explanation to date. . . . Wolfe is a first-rate writer." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A haunting account, destined to become a true-crime classic. A must read." -- John Gilmore, author of Severed "Breakthrough revelations about the twentieth century's most bizarre and haunting homocide--a real page-turner," -- Gus Russo, author of The Outfit "Riveting! If Don Wolfe is right, he has done what the police and the DA's office failed to do--come close to solving a murder that, sixty years ago, brought Jack-the-Ripper savagery to Los Angeles. Page by bloodstained page, he lays down the clues that point to a Mafia boss, a crooked doctor, and one of the most powerful men in California." -- Anthony Summers, author of Goddess and Sinatra

    Superb book

    Any student of the Black Dahlia case will and must have this book. The author was very much a part of the world Elizabeth Short lived and died in. He was close to people who associated directly with the people she associated with. This book is a source of facts but written in a way that is very compelling. True Noir is the only way I can accurately describe it, and no attempt is made to make her a saint or demon; just a foolish human being who made foolish decisions in a world that was not kind to women. A must have for lovers of Noir and true crime litterateur alike.
