Overview
The Black Dahlia murder hit post-war Los Angeles like a bombshell. Beautiful Elizabeth Short's naked body was found drained of blood & cut in half. Author Gilmore's father, an L.A. policeman, was on the investigation. This first true-crime book published, on the strangest of all "unsolved" murders in the annals of modern crime, will be long-remembered. After years of tracking, Gilmore offers the solution documented by law enforcement & forensic experts. SEVERED reveals the killer's own frightening statements, depicting the gruesome murder. The lust-killer was secretly law enforcement's prime suspect in the shocking earlier bathtub murder of a wealthy Sunset Strip socialite--now brought from the shadows into official spotlight. Hard-boiled & grisly, this is investigative journalism at its best, That "truth is stranger than fiction" has never been so terrifyingly evident. New York Times says Gilmore's work is not recommended for the "sensitive of spirit," while praising his ability to catch subjects squarely. Gilmore's previous true-crime (Library Journal says, "Well-written & soundly researched...") has led straight into the "noir" world of SEVERED, a Grand Guignol of behind-the-scene layers, "peeled away relentlessly" in an in-depth understanding of darkness & violence.
