Using the basic facts concerning the 1940s' notorious and yet unsolved Blac k Dahlia case, Ellroy creates a kaleidoscope of human passion and dark obse ssion. A young woman's mutilated body is found in a Los Angeles vacant lot. The story is seen through the eyes of Bucky Bleichert, ex-prize fighter an d something of a boy wonder on the police force.

Ellroy, James Brown's Requiem
Harper Paperbacks October 1, 1998 0-380-73177-0 / 9780380731770 Paperback Fine
Before he began to remap the geography of the crime novel and venture out into the darkest noir night of them all with L.A. Confidential, The Black Dahlia, White Jazz, and American Tabloid, James Ellroy started his caree r with this powerful but basically straightforward book about Los Angeles p rivate eye Fritz Brown. At first glance, the story of an investigation into a crooked golf tournament that opens up to include arson and murder could be just another work by any one of the dozens of good writers who have used Southern California as a metaphor for the decline and fall of civilization . But behind the terse prose, astute readers will soon begin to hear someth ing else--the increasingly loud clamor of a cry of pain that will eventuall y become the barely manageable madness of Ellroy's later books.

Ellroy, James My Dark Places
Arrow Books Ltd June 5, 1997 0-09-954961-1 / 9780099549611 Paperback Very Good
James Ellroy's trademark is his language: it is sometimes caustically funny and always brazen. When he's hitting on all cylinders, as he is in My Dar k Places, his style makes punchy rhythms out of short sentences using lingo such as "scoot" (dollar), "trim" (sex), and "brace" (to interrogate). But the premise for My Dark Places is what makes it especially compelling: Ellr oy goes back to his own childhood to investigate the central mystery behind his obsession with violence against women--the death of his mother when he was 10 years old. It's hard to imagine a more psychologically treacherous, more self-exposing way in which to write about true crime. The New York Ti mes calls it a "strenuously involving book.... Early on, Mr. Ellroy makes a promise to his dead mother that seems maudlin at first: 'I want to give yo u breath.' But he's done just that and--on occasion--taken ours away."

Ellroy, James White Jazz: A Novel
Fawcett September 1, 19 0-449-14841-6 / 9780449148419 Paperback Very Good
Blacker than noir, this latest novel from the author of L.A. Confidential a nd The Black Dahlia is set in 1958 and features a dirty LAPD detective with a breathtaking mastery of corruption. Dave Klein, a gangland heavy, USC la w grad and police lieutenant, can thread a legal loophole as easily as he s lips on brass knuckles. Assigned by the police commissioner to head an inve stigation into a narc squad payoff source, Klein smells a setup. To save hi mself, he traces a genealogy of double-dealing that includes incest, instit utionalized bribery and police corruption, all going back decades. Ellroy's telegraphic style, which reduces masses of plot information to quick-study shorthand, captures the seamy stream-of-consciousness of this tainted cop and carries the reader from initial repulsion to a fascination that lingers long after the story's last notes have faded away. Ellroy adroitly transfe rs the manic energy of scat and bebop to this final volume of his tense, lo wdown L.A. epic. Moreover, he demonstrates perfect pitch for illegalese, bu t the hepcat banter never obscures the complex plotting of politics and pre -Miranda rights police work, a combination that here makes most other crime novels seem naive.
