In Black Dahlia Avenger II, bestselling author and veteran homicide
detective Steve Hodel presents his five-year follow-up
investigation 2006-2011] into Los Angeles'S 1947 Black Dahlia and
other serially connected 1940s Lone Woman Murders.
After the 2003 publication of his NYT bestseller and MWA Edgar

Murder, and receiving a "CASE SOLVED" legal opinion from many of

Head Deputy District Attorney and LAPD's Chief of Detectives-Hodel
didn't stop there.
In this investigative sequel he presents his careful
deconstruction of the Dahlia Legend-exposing and correcting the

was a standalone murder." Myth No. 2-"There was a 'Missing or Lost
Week'" Myth No. 3-"The case was never solved."

made available for law enforcement testing and comparison to

MURDER was committed along with physical evidence connecting the
