This time he presents the facts and theories behind the death of the so-called "Black Dahlia." I had heard of this crime before but didn't know the details, so this was illuminating. Geary's black-and-white line drawings are on the basic side, but they get the job done. As the murder was never solved, readers who want a neat conclusion will be disappointed. Otherwise, this was an interesting and compelling read. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

On January 15, 1947, a woman was walking with her daughter in a Los Angeles neighborhood. She passed what looked to be a discarded manikin. It turned out to be the body of Elizabeth Short: posed, drained of blood, meticulously scrubbed, and cut in two. From this point, Geary reconstitutes and reveals for us the life of this 22-year-old woman who had become known as "Black Dahlia" because of her striking appearance. How could her life have ended in such a ghastly fashion? Was it a jealous boyfriend, a rejected suitor, or one of LA's notorious mafia connections whom she had apparently been dabbling with? The case gets more complex when, days later, a local newspaper receives a cut-out letter from an anonymous "Black Dahlia Avenger" admitting to the crime.

I've read, listened to, and seen the case, not really studying it, so this book had several aspects I'd never heard of, such as Short's disapproving father briefly being a suspect. I also didn't know about the eventual shake-up in the L.A. police department. ( )
