Eatwell’s theory centers on Leslie Duane Dillon, a bellhop and one-time mortician’s assistant who was briefly considered the case’s primary suspect, before police let him go. In her book, Eatwell makes a convincing case for the identity of Elizabeth Short’s murderer, a conclusion she reached after years of exhaustive research. The nonfiction account, which Eatwell calls “part detective story and part history,” traces aspiring actress Elizabeth Short’s final days, as well as the long, circuitous investigation conducted by a police department that bore overly intimate ties with both gangland and the media. “What’s with this British author coming in and solving America’s most notorious unsolved murder?” says Piu Eatwell, jokingly describing the public reaction to her recent book, Black Dahlia, Red Rose.
