The Black Dahlia
I stole a book while I was upstate, a new addition to my dad's stock that never made it online. Written in 2003, it's the tale of the ex cop whose father is believed to have been the Black Dahlia killer. It tells of police corruption in every corner of the department and how he found the photos, letters and other bits of evidence amongst his father's belongings.
Like millions of other true crime buffs over the decades, I have always been fascinated by the Dahlia case. Andrew sent me my first book on the case and I was hooked inside the first ten pages. I can only imagine the horror and shock this dead bisected girl brought to the nation.
Imagine being a cop and years after your surgeon father has died you find amidst his possessions damning evidence that the man you called dad was perhaps the most notorious killer of the century to date? A serial killer no less!
I've read a lot on it, from what I can tell so far this book rings real for some reason but whether it is or isn't it's a damn good read and one hell of an interesting whodoneit.
<-- Steal me!
