THE BLACK DAHLIA A Jake Slater Mystery Based on the true crime that still haunts Hollywood
1947. The war’s over. Hollywood’s on fire. And every pretty face with a dream just stepped off the bus.
She was one of them.
“Name’s Elizabeth Short, sugar. But you can call me Beth… for tonight.”
Jake Slater, hard-boiled private eye, never forgot that husky whisper. One night of heat. One night of trouble. Then she was gone.
Next time he saw her… she was in pieces.
“They cut her in half, Jake. Like she was nothing.” “No one does that to a dame and walks away. Not on my watch.”
Now the Black Dahlia’s ghost won’t let him sleep. Tinseltown’s dirtiest secrets are crawling out of the shadows. Cops are stonewalling. Power players are watching. And the killer is still out there… smiling.
“You keep digging, Slater, and you’ll end up in the same lot she did.” “Try me.”
Will Jake solve the most savage murder in Hollywood history… or will the Black Dahlia drag him down with her?
“She deserved better. They all do.”
