Eventually, in 1977, he joined Alcoholics Anonymous, became a golf caddy and began writing in earnest. During his down-and-out years, he developed pneumonia and was hospitalised with a severe lung abscess.
He joined the army, was discharged, and became a homeless petty criminal, which led to prison. He spent his teens and twenties drunk, drugged and delinquent.
The following year, he became fixated with the murder of a young, wannabe actress named Elizabeth Short, a viciously sadistic sex assault known as the Black Dahlia case, which became the surrogate crime upon which he could let loose his damaged emotions and forbidden curiosity.
