"Discovering The Maltese Falcon and Sam Spade" Nominated for Edgar Award 
The critically praised book "Discovering The Maltese Falcon and Sam Spade," edited by Richard Layman, has been nominated by the Mystery Writers of America for the Edgar Award -- the mystery field's most prestigious award -- as the Best Critical/Biographical book of the year.

Looks like a cool book for Hammett fans but check out this little item:

The sculptor who created the legendary statuette of the black bird for the 1941 Humphrey Bogart movie may have been an accomplice of the Black Dahlia murderer and the killer of author James Ellroy's mother.

Say what now?

Does a New Pill Contain the Fountain of Youth? 
Dr. Joe McCord's latest research may unravel the mystery of aging. And if he succeeds, the answer could come in the form of a little yellow pill called Protandim.

Protandim's ingredients?

It is a combination of five plant ingredients. Two of them are pretty commonplace — green tea and turmeric, a spice used in Indian cooking. The others, among them withania somnifera and silybum marianum, are more exotic.

I don't know if you're interested but this piece on actor Chris Penn is worth a read. I always loved the guy. I once mentioned to a young actor that he reminded me of Chris Penn and he got offended. I told him if he could be half the actor Chris was he'd be lucky.

Cross-dressing killer is a lady wrestler! 
Holy crap!

The cross-dressing murderer who terrorized Mexico City's old ladies for three long years is actually a female wrestling star.

Mataviejitas -- the "Little Old Lady Killer" - brutally murdered more than 40 defenseless old women, four of them this month alone.

Now cops say they've got the killer: a 48-year-old former Mexican wrestling star who is a woman herself.

Dateline NBC is doing a piece on Blaine Norris, murderous horror film director. Norris's crime has been covered extensively on this site but apparently many details have not been in the press.

And there's a new documentary about the case called Rough Cut.

L.A. Observed: New Black Dahlia theory 
Once again, Hex Correspondent and Black Dahlia maven (researcher? enthusiast? sweetheart?) Elisabeth Reynolds has pointed the Professor towards some fun new Dahlia info.

First, Donald H. Wolfe will be discussing his new Black Dahlia book (complete with new theory, natch) tonight in Los Angeles for free at the Los Angeles Press Club. If you're an Angeleno (or Angelena) you should stop by.

Wolfe's book The Black Dahlia Files : The Mob, the Mogul, and the Murder That Transfixed Los Angeles has already created controversy as rival Dahlia researcher Larry Harnisch has accused Wolfe of plagiarism. Ought to be quite an evening.

As to Wolfe's book, Elisabeth calls it "Both a piece of crap AND a must read! Really. If fact, it's unequivocally the best piece of crap written on the case to date!"

If that's not a ringing endorsement I don't know what is. Thanks Elisabeth.

Smoking Gun questions Million Little Pieces 
The best thing that ever happened to the liars behind the JT Leroy con was that James Frey - a bigger, more Oprah-promoted writer, was exposed as an allegedly (Hi lawyers!) lying douchebag on the same day. Frey is definitely getting the lion's share of the press. He's also threatening to sue, which should prove endlessly entertaining, as he seems more worried about protecting his future movie deals than he does his reputation.

Here is the Smoking Gun's report (also linked below). And be sure to check out this hilarious photo of the desperado known as the Chicken Pox Kid.
