Steve Hodel - The Black Dahlia Avenger

Village Books and Paper Dreams

Join us in welcoming local author Steve Hodel - former homicide detective, and son of the alleged Black Dahlia murderer.

In 1947, the sadistic murder of a beautiful young woman led to the largest manhunt in LA history. The killer taunted the police and the public, but his identity remained a mystery. Until now… A spellbinding tour de force of true-crime writing, this newly revised edition includes never-before- published forensic evidence and photographs, definitively closing the case that has often been called “the most notorious unsolved murder of the twentieth century.” Steve Hodel is a New York Times bestselling author. Born and raised in Los Angeles, he spent twenty-four years with the LAPD, where, as a homicide detective, he worked on more than three hundred murder cases and achieved one of the highest “solve rates” on the force. He is a licensed PI and author, and his first book, Black Dahlia Avenger: A Genius for Murder, was a New York Times bestseller and was nominated for an MWA Edgar Award in the Best Fact category. His investigations, spanning over two decades, have been featured on NBC Dateline, CBS 48 Hours, Court TV, A&amp;E Bill Kurtis, Cold Case Files, CNN Anderson Cooper, and the Discovery Channel. In March 2019, Steve appeared on the Today Show and Dr. Phil, where he, with other family members, discussed the making of the hit podcast Root of Evil: The True Story of the Hodel Family and the Black Dahlia Murder. Steve in November 2021 relocated back to Whatcom County and now resides in Birch Bay, Washington.
