James Ellroy

Los Angeles in the fifties. The mafia boss, drug dealer and king of prostitution ended up in prison and left a clear field for the struggle for supremacy on the "market"...

Six people are murdered in the "Night Bird" cafe. The investigation is started by the son of a police legend and a "stubbornly right guy" named Ed Exley. Jack Vincennes, a collaborator on the police TV series and a snitch for the tabloid magazine "Hush Hush", also gets involved, thinking that it is still not too late to stand on the "right side". There is also the recent partner of one of the dead, police officer Stens - the strong and impulsive Bud White. This almost incompatible trio, connecting the pieces of an intricate mosaic, will gradually reveal covered-up cases and unusual connections of the corrupt Los Angeles police with the underworld... The third book of the "L. A. Quartet", based on real cases from the police annals, is the template for a successful Hollywood film of the same name, made in 1995.
