Ashley S. - , reviewed Book Summery on 5/21/2009

On January 15, 1947, the torture-ravished body of a beautiful young woman is found in a Los Angeles vacant lot. The victim makes headlines as the Black Dehlia-and so begins the greatest manhunt in California history.

Caught up in the investigation are Bucky Bieichert & Lee Blanchard: Warrants Squad cops, friends, & rivals in love with the same woman. But both are obsessed with the Dehlia-driven by dark needs to know everything about her past, to capture her killer, to possess the woman even in death. Their quest will take them on a hellish journey through the underbelly of postwar Hollywood, to the core of the dead girl's twisted life, past the extremes of their own psyches-into a region of total madness.
