The Black Dahlia depicts the secret infrastructure of most sensational murder case. A young cop morphs into obsessed lover and lust-crazed avenger. The Dahlia claims him. She is the deus ex machina of a boomtown in extremis. The cops rogue investigation is a one-way ticket to hell.
The Big Nowhere blends the crime novel and the political novel. It is winter, 1950--and the . County Grand Jury is out to slam movieland Reds. Its a reverential shuck--and the three cops assigned to the job are out to grab all the glory they can. A series of brutal sex killings intervenes, and the job goes all-the-way bad.
. Confidential is the great novel of Los Angeles in the 1950s. Political corruption. Scandal-rag journalism. Bad racial juju and gangland wars. Six local stiffs slaughtered in an all-night hash house. The glorious and overreaching LAPD on an unprecedented scale.
White Jazz gives us the tortured confession of a corrupt cop going down for the count. Hes a slumlord, a killer, a parasitic exploiter. Hes a pawn in a series of police power plays and starting to see that hes being had. Hes just met a woman. Thus, hes determined to claw his way out of the horrifying world hes created--and hes determined to tell us everything.
The . Quartet is a groundbreaking work of American popular fiction.
