The Black Dahlia Murder
Gruesome, Notorious
The murder and bisection of Elizabeth Short on January
14, 1947 in Los Angeles California was a national media
sensation then and for years to follow. There were many
suspects and false confessors, but the case has never
been solved. It now ranks up there with Jack the Ripper
in unsolved mysteries.
Can it be solved? Many have theories. There are even
Black Dahlia clubs devoted to this mystery, but nobody
has come up with concrete evidence as to who the killer
was. Take a look at Black Dahlia

First Chapter quote from Sam
Walls in Hollywood Iliad:
"I was busted, flat broke, working
out of the backroom of Howie Steindler’
s Main Street Gym, gratis, his pleasure.
Howie owed me, or at least he saw it
that way. It’s like the song by one of the
money-monkeys who staked a piece of
my action, Frankie boy, Sinatra’s hit
song, “That's Life".
"My fight record was twenty-two
wins and one loss, good enough for a
middleweight title shot with Sugar Ray,
but I couldn’t get a moneyed fight if I
walked the “nickel”, Fifth Street, with
the schmack-heads crapping heroin
Popsicles. When you’re suspected of
throwing a fight, and the big “secret” is
yodeled up the canyon by Sinatra Box
Inc., you’re dead meat, dried, drizzled
and ready for the mayo. I was persona
non grata on both coasts and with all
the palookas in between."
