White Jazz - Lib - CD Author:James Ellroy Killings, beatings, bribes, shakedowns -- it's all in a day's work for Lt. Dave Klein in the LAPD of 1958. But when the Feds announce a full-scale investigation of police corruption, things go haywire. Klein is hung out as bait, "a bad cop to draw the heat," and the heat comes from all sides: from local politicians, from LAPD brass and from rac... more »keteers, all bent on keeping their own dirty secrets hidden. For Klein, "42 and going on dead," it's dues time. He helped create this world of greed, ambition and perversion, but now he'll be lucky to get out of it alive. "Blacker than noir...It makes other crime novels seem naive." (Publishers Weekly) WHITE JAZZ completes Ellroy's L.A. quartet which began with THE BLACK DAHLIA and continued with THE BIG NOWHERE and L.A. CONFIDENTIAL.« less
