The Four Winds

“The four winds have blown us here, people from all across the country, to the very end of this great land.”

For those of us in Montecito we are all too familiar with land we love, though lush and verdant it has on occasion “betrayed” us with drought, fires, mudslides. Still, California is the land of “milk and honey,” a place of opportunity, agricultural abundance and temperate climates.

Quick paced, intriguing - do I concur with the author’s assertion of who killed Elizabeth Short? No hard evidence is produced so I am skeptical - still a fascinating revisit to a case that demands answers
