Book Overview

The first novel in The L.A. Quartet. The Black Dahlia is the haunting and harrowing book that put James Ellroy on the map as one of the most electrifying writers on the scene.

On January 15, 1947, the brutally mutilated body of Elizabeth Short is found in a vacant lot. The victim makes headlines as the Black Dahlia, becoming the center of a media frenzy and cultural fixation.

Caught up in the investigation are two young cops, Dwight "Bucky" Bleichert and Lee Blanchard, partners in uniform and both former boxers. But the deeper they get in the case, the greater their obsession with the Dahlia becomes. As the two men go rogue and hunt for the killer, they are drawn into the hellish underbelly of 1940s Hollywood, into the victim's twisted past, and into the extremes of their own desires--a land of demons and madness.

Inspired by America's most infamous unsolved murder, James Ellroy's The Black Dahlia is a classic work of crime fiction that will haunt its readers long after the last page.
