Media Reviews


"Nobody in this generation matches the breadth and depth of James Ellroy's way with noir."

   -- Gary S. Kadet, Detroit News

"Ellroy spares no sensibilities."

   -- Los Angeles Times

"Always a master at painting the dark portrait, Ellroy put down his broad brush for a sharp pen...He's stripped down the language to a hard, cutting tool."

   -- Associated Press

"Brutal and at the same time believable."

   -- New York Times

"An undeniably artful frenzy of violence, guilt, and unappeased self-loathing. Ellroy's crime fiction represents a high mark in the genre."

   -- New York Newsday

"Ellroy has shifted the margins...these operatic historical novels of postwar Los Angeles are evolutionary advances in crime fiction."

   -- L.A. Weekly

"The sheer joy of language is everywhere in this book, and so is Ellroy's grimly determined sense of play....It is essential reading in the canon of modern crime writing."

   -- Boston Book Review

Publisher Notes


Three troubled cops--Ed Exley, desperately seeking glory; vengeful Bud White, a witness to his mother's murder by his father; and Jack Vincennes, a shakedown artist with a dark secret--tread a fine line between right and wrong in 1950s Los Angeles.
