Summary:
The real-life murder and mutilation of a young woman, Elizabeth Short, in 1947 Los Angeles forms the basis for this hardboiled tale. In The Black Dahlia, Bucky Bleichert and Lee Blanchard--L.A.P.D. cops, ex-boxers, and friends--become obsessed with the high-profile case as they search for the killer. The Black Dahlia murder has captivated the minds of the public and pollinated the minds of writers and directors for years--several movies and books have been at least partially based on it, including a 2006 film directed by Brian De Palma and starring Josh Hartnett and Scarlett Johansson based on this James Ellroy book.
