This new and updated edition finally proves the shocking identity of the Black Dahlia killer—and the police corruption that concealed it for so long.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1947, the brutal, sadistic murder of a beautiful young woman named Elizabeth Short led to the largest manhunt in LA history. The killer teased and taunted the police and public for weeks, but his identity stayed a mystery, and the murder remained the most tantalising unsolved case of the last century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSteve Hodel, a retired LAPD detective, took up the case, reviewing the original evidence and records as well as those of a separate grand jury investigation into a series of murders of single women in LA at the time. The prime suspect had in fact been identified, but never indicted. Why? And who was he?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn an account that will remind movie lovers of both \u003cem\u003eLA Confidential\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eZodiac\u003c\/em\u003e, for the corruption it exposes and the insight it offers into a serial killer's mind, Hodel demonstrates that there was a massive police cover-up. Even more shocking, he proves that the murderer, a true-life Jekyll and Hyde who was a highly respected member of society by day and a psychopathic killer by night, was his own father.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis new and updated edition of \u003cem\u003eBlack Dahlia Avenger\u003c\/em\u003e includes an updated introduction from the author as well as new evidence and photographs to once and for all close the case on the Black Dahlia murder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430166118636,"sku":"9781648212116","price":64.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781648212116.jpg?v=1774559634","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/black-dahlia-avenger-by-steve-hodel-9781648212116","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
