"The fourth novel in Elroy's acclaimed L.A. quartet, soon to be a major motion picture starring George Clooney. Los Angeles, 1958. Killings, beatings, bribes, shakedowns--it's standard procedure for Lieutenant Dave Klein, LAPD. But when the Feds announce a full-out investigation into local police corruption, everything goes haywire. Klein is hung out as bait, "a bad cop to draw the heat," which comes from all sides. His story takes listeners on a journey through a world shaped by monstrous ambition, avarice, and perversion. It's a world he created, but now he'll do anything to get out of it alive. Fierce, riveting, and honed to a razor edge, White jazz is crime fiction at its most shattering. The fourth novel in Elroy's acclaimed L.A. quartet is the story of a corrupt LAPD officer who becomes trapped in the dark, seedy underworld he's helped to create.

Work Description

The internationally acclaimed author of the L.A. Quartet and The Underworld USA Trilogy, James Ellroy, presents another literary noir masterpiece of historical paranoia. Los Angeles, 1958. Killings, beatings, bribes, shakedowns-it's standard procedure for Lieutenant Dave Klein, LAPD. He's a slumlord, a bagman, an enforcer-a power in his own small corner of hell. Then the Feds announce a full-out investigation into local police corruption, and everything goes haywire. Klein's been hung out as bait, ""a bad cop to draw the heat,"" and the heat's coming from all sides: from local politicians, from LAPD brass, from racketeers and drug kingpins-all of them hell-bent on keeping their own secrets hidden. For Klein, ""forty-two and going on dead,"" it's dues time. Klein tells his own story-his voice clipped, sharp, often as brutal as the events he's describing-taking us with him on a journey through a world shaped by monstrous ambition, avarice, and perversion. It's a world he created, but now he'll do anything to get out of it alive. Fierce, riveting, and honed to a razor edge, White Jazz is crime fiction at its most shattering.
