    De to politimænd og gamle boksekammerater Lee Blanchard og Dwight "Bucky" Bleichert skal efterforske et brutalt sex-mord på en ung barpige med skuespillerdrømme. Liget af Elisabeth Short eller "Black Dahlia", som hun senere bliver navngivet, findes parteret i en park i Los Angeles i 1947 og medierne går amok i spekulationer. Samtidig viser forbrydelsen sig at få store konsekvenser for politimakkerparret. Mens mordet på Elisabeth Short giver Lee mindelser om hans egen søsters pludselige forsvinden, begynder Buck at identificere sig med offerets omflakkende liv. I forsøget på at opklare mordet ledes Buck og Lee dybere og dybere ned i både L.A.’s og psykens underverden. "Sorte Dahlia" er et portræt af efterkrigstidens Los Angeles som en by i fordærv og et arnested for politikorruption. Romanen er baseret på virkelige hændelse, og mordet på Elisabeth Short forbliver den dag i dag uopklaret. Sagen er fortsat genstand for megen spekulation og mulige teorier om, hvem der mon stod bag. Los Angeles-kvartetten er en serie af fire krimier, der kredser om vrangsiden af Los Angeles i 1940'erne og 1950'erne.James Ellroy (f. 1948) er amerikansk forfatter og essayist. En omtumlet barndom og ungdom fik ham til at interessere sig for vrangsiden af efterkrigstidens USA, der på overfladen var præget af velstand, økonomisk opsving og en voksende middelklasse. Særligt er han kendt for serien "Los Angeles-kvartetten", der kredser om Los Angelses' underverden i 1940'erne og 1950'erne. Forfatterskabet har indbragt Ellroy adskillige priser, herunder The Grand Master Award i 2015 - en ærespris, der gives til forfattere, hvis livsværk holder en ualmindelig høj kvalitet. Flere af Ellroys bøger er filmatiseret, heriblandt den anmelderroste "L.A. Confidential" fra 1997 med blandt andre Kevin Spacey og Russell Crowe i hovedrollerne.

    Tre vidt forskellige politifolk bringes sammen af en massakre på kaffebaren 'The Night Owl' i Los Angeles. Den anstændige betjent Edmund Exley er optaget af en stor skandale om politibrutalitet. Hans modsætning er den voldsparate strømer Wendell 'Bud' White, der er personligt besat af kriminalsager, hvor mænd misbruger kvinder. Mellem de to yderligheder står betjenten Jack Vincennes, der snarere fungerer som berømthed end politimand. Han er stjernen i politiets tv-show "Badge of Honor" og lækker i hemmelighed oplysninger og insider-viden til pressen. Sagen kræver, at de tre politimænd må sætte deres forskelle til side for at afdække massakren. Det bliver en blodig efterforskning, som afslører forbindelser til narko- og pornomiljøet, filmbranchen og politikorruption. "De faldne engles by" er tredje del af James Ellroys serie "Los Angeles-kvartetten", der også indebærer romanerne "Sorte Dahlia", "Ingenmandsland" og "Hvid jazz".Los Angeles-kvartettenLos Angeles-kvartetten er en serie af fire krimier, der kredser om vrangsiden af Los Angeles i 1940'erne og 1950'erne.James Ellroy (f. 1948) er amerikansk forfatter og essayist.

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 cop's 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 L.A. County Grand Jury is out to slam movieland Reds. It's 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.L.A. 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. He's a slumlord, a killer, a parasitic exploiter. He's a pawn in a series of police power plays and starting to see that he's being had. He's just met a woman. Thus, he's determined to claw his way out of the horrifying world he's created--and he's determined to tell us everything.The L.A. Quartet is a groundbreaking work of American popular fiction.

    'Purgatory is rarely this much fun.' - Financial Times From The Modern Master of Noir comes a novel about the malevolent monarch of the 1950s Hollywood underground - a tale of pervasive paranoia teeming with communist conspiracies, FBI finks, celebrity smut films and strange bedfellows.Freddy Otash is the man in the know and the man to know in '50s L.A. He operates with two simple rules - he'll do anything but commit murder and he'll never work with the commies.Freddy is an ex-L.A. cop on the skids. He snuffed a cop killer in cold blood - and it got to him bad. So Chief William H. Parker canned him. Now he's a sleazoid private eye, a shakedown artist, a pimp - and, most notably, the head strongarm goon for Confidential magazine. Confidential presaged the idiot internet - and delivered the dirt, the dish, the insidious ink and the scurrilous skank on the feckless foibles of misanthropic movie stars, sex-soiled socialites and potzo politicians. Freaky Freddy outs them all!In Widespread Panic, we traverse the depths of '50s L.A. and dig on the inner workings of Confidential. You'll go to Burt Lancaster's lushly appointed torture den; you'll groove overhyped legend James Dean as Freddy's chief stooge; you'll be there for Freddy's ring-a-ding rendezvous with Liz Taylor; you'll be front and centre as Freddy anoints himself the 'Tattle Tyrant Who Held Hollywood Hostage'.
