Activité sur The Black Dahlia

James Ellroy · 1987

Résumé · On the night of 10 January 1947, a beautiful young woman walked out of the Los Angeles Biltmore – and set off to meet her horrific destiny. Five days later her body was found on a vacant building lot – drained of blood and cut in half. The newspapers called her The Black Dahlia, and her appalling murder sparked off the greatest manhunt in California’s history. Caught up in the investigation are Bucky Bleichert and Lee Blanchard: fellow cops and rivals-in-love. Both become obsessed by the Black Dahlia – and they embark on a hellish journey that takes them through the underbelly of postwar Hollywood. Right to the murky core of the dead girl’s twisted life.
