Overview

Los Angeles.nbsp;nbsp;In no other city do sex, celebrity, money, and crime exert such an irresistible magnetic field.nbsp;nbsp;And no writer has mapped that field with greater savagery and savvy than James Ellroy.nbsp;nbsp;With this fever-hot collection of reportage and short fiction, he returns to his native habitat and portrays it as a smog-shrouded netherworld where"every third person is a peeper, prowler, pederast, or pimp."

From the scandal sheets of the 1950s to this morning's police blotter, Ellroy reopens true crimes and restores human dimensions to their victims.nbsp;nbsp;Sublimely, he resurrects the rag Hush-Hush magazine.nbsp;nbsp;And in a baroquely plotted novella of slaughter and corruption he enlists the forgotten luminaries of a lost Hollywood.nbsp;nbsp;Shocking, mesmerizing, and written in prose as wounding as an ice pick, Crime Wave is Ellroy at his best.
