A murder investigation nearly drives a beat cop to madness Despite the sunshine, high necklines, and demure purity of its silver-screen goddesses, Los Angeles in the 1950s is not a gentle place.

When an old flame of Freddy & rsquo;s is murdered, the investigation takes them deep into the shadiest part of the city, where Freddy will have to embrace the darkness if he wants to emerge with his life.

  • "Los Ángeles, 1951. Fred Underhill es, a sus 26 años, un policía inteligente, perseverante y mujeriego, y tiene además una debilidad, <<el prodigo>>, que se halla en las calles de la ciudad, en los locales nocturnos, en el misterio, el crimen sin resover, la vida o, tal vez, la muerte y los móviles que conducen a ella. Fred es sumamente ambicioso y está dispuesto a hacer lo que sea para llegar a los puestos más destacados del Departamento. El homicidio de una mujer, la investigación del caso y el descubrimiento de un asesino le servirán de trampolín a la fama. Con la guerra de Corea como telón de fondo, James Ellroy describe la carrera de un joven policía, su imparable ascenso y su estrepitosa caída en el marco de un intrincado caso criminal vinculado a los ambientes más sórdidos de la ciudad. -- p. [4] of cover."
