Title Description
Los Angeles. In no other city do sex, celebrity, money, and crime exert such an irresistible magnetic field. And no other writer has mapped that field with greater savvy than James Ellroy. Now, in his new book, the author of L. A. CONFIDENTIAL portrays the city as a smog-shrouded netherworld where "every third person is a peeper, prowler, pederast, prostitute, pillhead, pothead or pimp." From the 1950s scandal sheets to this morning's police blotter, and from his mother's unsolved murder to the slaying of Nicole Brown Simpson, Ellroy investigates true crimes and restores humanity to their victims. Shocking and written in prose as wounding as an ice pick, CRIME WAVE is Ellroy at his most majestically excessive.
