The Black Dahlia murder hit post-War Los Angeles like a bombshell . . . an impenetrable mystery--the haunting crown jewel of LAPD's "unsolved" murders. Even before her savage death, beautiful 22-year-old Elizabeth Short, an aspiring starlet and nightclub habitue, was known as the Black Dahlia--now a magnetic icon in American pop culture, an almost mythical symbol of noir Hollywood. In this expanded edition, John Gilmore plumbs the dark core of this terrifying story that he argues can never be truly solved. Here is the real Elizabeth Short--the enigmatic Black Dahlia. Kindle edition includes exclusive new photos. "The best book on the Black Dahlia -- in fact, the only reliable book." -- Colin Wilson "The most satisfying and disturbing conclusion to the Black Dahlia case." -- David Lynch.

"Do you like the movie Sleepy Hollow or even the television series from FOX? Then this book may just be for you.<br/><br/>This book kept me riveted from the first page to the very last. Katrina is definitely not your sort of run of the mill damsel in distress. In fact, it is a role she rather loathes all together. It doesn't help either when Brom is already planning their wedding. It is something Katrina doesn't want.<br/><br/>Sleepy Hollow is haunted by the Headless Horseman. Katrina knows he is real. She has seen him before and she fears she could be his target. At first the Headless Horseman hasn't been seen in quite some time but then headless bodies appear. It appears the Headless Horseman has returned.<br/><br/>I really enjoyed this version of events from Sleepy Hollow. The storyline was not boring and the characters definitely had dimension to them. <br/><br/>I recommend this book to anyone who loves anything to do with the Sleepy Hollow world either it being from re-telling or from a character's point-of-view."
