Play :: Jan 15, 1947: Girl victim of sex fiend found slain. A chilling thriller based on Hollywood's most notorious murder case. The severed, blood-drained body of a beautiful young woman is found in a vacant lot in downtown Los Angeles. Her murder hits post-war Hollywood like a bombshell. The dead woman, dubbed 'The Black Dahlia', disrupts and distorts lives of all who come into contact with the death, and the LAPD cops who search for her killer destroy themselves in ever-increasing circles of corruption. Based on a true but unsolved murder, James Ellroy's brilliant amalgam if fact and fiction is from the same collection as Oscar-winning 'LA Confidential.
