Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>On January 15, 1947, a woman walking with her daughter in a Los Angeles neighborhood passed what looked to be a discarded mannequin. It turned out to be the body of Elizabeth Short: posed, drained of blood, meticulously scrubbed, and cut in two. From this point, Geary reconstitutes and reveals for us the life of this 22-year-old woman who had become known as "Black Dahlia" because of her striking appearance. How could her life have ended in such a ghastly fashion? Was it a jealous boyfriend, a rejected suitor, or one of LA's notorious mafia members, with whom she had been connected? The case gets more complex when, days later, a local newspaper receives a cut-out letter from an anonymous "Black Dahlia Avenger" admitting to the crime.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"As usual, his black-and-white line art gives the stories a slightly retro, though never nostalgic, feel, with a tinge of weirdness to the chronicle of transgressions that reveal higher truths in their gruesomeness." --<i>Publishers Weekly </i>starred review<br><br>"Clearly delineates the intricacies of this still-intriguing case." --<i>Booklist</i>​<br><br>"Geary is an accomplished cartoonist and storyteller, and these installments in his long-running series on American crime are sure to satisfy fans of graphic novels and true crime alike." --Tom Batten, <i>Library Journal</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Rick Geary</b> is an award-winning cartoonist and illustrator who has been published by Marvel Entertainment Group, DC Comics, Dark Horse Comics, <i>Heavy Metal</i> magazine, <i>Rolling Stone</i>, <i>National Lampoon</i> and the <i>New York Times Book Review</i>, to name a few.
