Overview

While criminology embraces the nuts and bolts of physical evidence, timelines, and logistics, there are intangible components that connect on multiple levels beyond the finite and measurable. They are the realm of the occult. As a sequel to the ground-breaking analysis in vol. 1 of Desperate Rites: Astrology and the Occult in the Richard Speck Murders, author B.D. Salerno offers insights into the metaphysical and occult aspects of the heinous 1947 murder of 22-year-old Elizabeth Short, nicknamed ""The Black Dahlia."" The author first presents an astrological analysis of the murders, followed by a riveting exposé of the numbers, dates, and occult symbols that surface frequently throughout the official narrative of this historical - and horrific - unsolved crime.
