Archibald Thomson Hall, eventually known as Roy Fontaine, changed his name to better suit the world of butlery—which was a touch odd… given that “Archibald” sounds far more like a butler’s name than “Roy.” Then again, making a mess of things was exactly what the “Monster Butler” was best at.

In 1947, the body of Elizabeth Short was discovered in a vacant Los Angeles lot. The press dubbed her the Black Dahlia, and her murder became one of the most infamous unsolved cases in American history.

Behind the lurid headlines and wild speculation was a real woman, one whose life and story have been overshadowed by the myth.

Broken: The Black Dahlia Murder reveals who Elizabeth Short was, the shocking details of her murder, and the search for her killer. Along the way, we uncover the facts, the rumors, and the pieces of history that time tried to erase.
