It's January 1947, and a gruesome discovery is made in a vacant lot in Leimert Park, Los Angeles - the body of a woman, mutilated and sliced in two at the waist. The dead woman, identified as Elizabeth Short, was soon nicknamed 'the Black Dahlia' by a press that was eager to sensationalise such a lurid murder case.

The case has never been solved, despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that over 60 people confessed to the crime at the time. Short was at times unfairly portrayed as a victim of her lifestyle, with the press focusing on a number of men with whom she had allegedly had sexual relations. Over the years, a number of names have been advanced as possible suspects in the case, along with possibility of a potential cover-up and conspiracy on the part of authorities determined to hide the involvement of a prominent individual.

The Conspiracy Files series lifts the lid on some of the world's most notorious mysteries, unexplained events and possible conspiracies. The narrative examines the accepted version of events, considers their veracity, and investigates the potential for conspiracy and cover-up.

There are a total of eight books in the Conspiracy Files series, with multi-book bundles comprising four books offering the best value for money.
