Death at the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles

Death at the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles by Dale Perelman

Built during Los Angeles's rapid growth in the Roaring Twenties, the Beaux Arts-style Cecil Hotel was briefly a glimmering downtown landmark until it became one of the most infamous sites of violence and murder in the country. Nicknamed The Suicide, the Cecil was the eerie location of more than a dozen people taking their own lives going back to the 1940s and '50s. Rumors still swirl that Elizabeth Short, the Black Dahlia, frequented the hotel in the days before her gruesome murder. Serial killer Richard Night Stalker Ramirez lived at the Cecil for long stays in the 1980s. Austrian serial killer Jack Unterweger murdered three sex workers while a guest at the Cecil in 1991. Author Dale Perelman charts the brutal and mysterious history of Los Angeles's most notorious hotel.

Mountain of Light: The Tale of the Koh-I-Noor Diamond, The Regent: The Story of the Regent Diamond, Centenarians: One Hundred 100-Year-Olds Who Made a Difference, and Steel: The Story of Pittsburgh's Iron and Steel Industry, 1852-1902 are among Dale Richard Perelman's works. Perelman graduated from Brown University with a bachelor's degree in English literature, an MBA in industrial relations from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, and a graduate gemologist designation from the Gemological Institute of America.
