Book Synopsis

''Nobody does crime like James Ellroy . . . One of Ellroy''s best works in years'' Sunday Times

''This is the master of darkness at his incomparable best simply impossible to put down'' Daily Mail

Los Angeles. August 4, 1962. The city broils through a mid-summer heat wave. Marilyn Monroe ODs. A B-movie starlet is kidnapped. The overhyped LAPD overreacts. Chief Bill Parker''s looking for some getback. The Monroe deal looks like a moneymaker. He calls in Freddy Otash.

The freewheeling Freddy O. Tainted ex-cop, defrocked private eye, dope fiend, and freelance extortionist. A man who lives by the maxim Opportunity is Love. Freddy gets to work. He dimly perceives Marilyn Monroe''s death and the kidnapped starlet to be a poisonous riddle that only he has the guts and the brains to untangle. We are with him as he tears through all those who block his path to the truth. We are with him as he penetrates the faux-sunshine of Jack and Bo
