Book Description

On 11th January, 1947 in Los Angeles, a beautiful young woman walked into the night and met her horrific destiny. Five days later, her tortured body was found drained of blood and cut in half. The newspapers called her 'The Black Dahlia'. Two cops are caught up in the investigation and embark on a hellish journey that takes them to the core of the dead girl's twisted life.

From Publishers Weekly

Narrator Hoye firmly nails young world-weary cop Bucky Bleichert in this audio version of Ellroy's 1987 crime novel. The flawed boxer-turned-lawman becomes obsessed with L.A.'s notorious unsolved 1947 torture-murder case, as well as the secret life of his missing partner, Lee Blanchard. Hoye proves a fine match for Ellroy's hardboiled prose, shuttling easily between hard and soft tones, crystallizing Bleichert's mix of cynicism, confusion, hurt and rage. Set in booming postwar Los Angeles, this tale of ambition, deceit and obsession builds to symphonic proportions. Throughout, Hoye skillfully modulates his narration to distinctly render each character—corrupt cops, city officials, pimps, GIs, Mexican bar owners, prostitutes, society matrons and even the sound of a bullet piercing canvas. Hoye especially shines during heated police interrogations, able to shift his voice on a dime. The audio includes a new afterword from Ellroy, which might have delivered more punch had Ellroy read it himself. But in terms of this gritty, sprawling novel, Hoye was unquestionably the right man for the job.

From Library Journal

Using the basic facts concerning the 1940s' notorious and yet unsolved Black Dahlia case, Ellroy creates a kaleidoscope of human passion and dark obsession. A young woman's mutilated body is found in a Los Angeles vacant lot. The story is seen through the eyes of Bucky Bleichert, ex-prize fighter and something of a boy wonder on the police force. There is no relief or humor as Bleichert arrives at a grisly discovery. Ellroy's powerful rendering of the long-reaching effects of murder gives the case new meaning.

From AudioFile

Former dick Bucky Bleichert tells how he solved the title murder case, and why the solution of the crime was kept secret though it cost him his badge, girl, and best friend. While the Marlowe-esque Bucky is fictional, his account agrees with the known facts of this real 1947 torture-killing of an L.A. party girl. Corruption and depravity are dressed in gaudy dialogue and period grit. This edition includes a concluding essay drawing parallels between the Dahlia case and Ellroy's personal and life-changing encounter with murder. All this is served up by Stephen Hoye, who convincingly plays the detective with a world-weariness that fails to blunt his capacity for lust, shock, and revulsion. He modulates his pace shrewdly for suspense and drama, and manages to make the neo-noir clichés seem fresh and genuine. Y.R. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award

读后感

电影是看了两遍的。在第一遍被糟糕的字幕下难辨的对白一头雾水后，执着地看了第二遍，终于认定其的确不能称为一部佳作。然而[黑色大丽花]这本小说是令我意外的，我认为它足够精彩，至少弥补了我在电影中没有找到的满意答案。 将一本32万字的小说改编为2个小时的电影，至少在这...  

故事反转又反转，任性也是反转又反转，当然我能理解作者设局的原因，我所不能理解的是，两名警察为何因为这个案件牵扯进去。李是为了掩盖自己过去的罪行，被马蒂利用，最后也因为如此死在了墨西哥。当板牙已经了解到李的真正动机的情况下，我不明白他是为何还要纠结与大丽花。...  

她活着的时候我并不认识她。我通过别人得知她的存在，通过对她死因的调查而了解了她的生活。通过调查，通过找出来的一系列真相，我将她重构为一个无可救药的小女孩儿，一个妓女，至少是可能做过妓女——在这一点上我们有相同之处，我也曾经生活糜烂。----黑色大丽花 作者：[美...  

过去一个世纪的美国经历了爵士时代，禁酒令解除，一大批无所事事的年轻人无业游民，还有得不到社会认可的黑人，构成了这个社会的灰色人群，政府黑帮警察医生各个机构相互勾结，为了选举而隐瞒事实，为了金钱而让自己的女儿勾引警察，上钩的警察因此而放弃追查，警察去嫖妓偷卷...
