White Jazz (Roman) - Softcover

LAPD lieutenant Dave Klein finds himself dangled as bait when the Feds begin investigating corruption on the police force, and soon Klein is up against racketeers, narcotics kings, fat-cat politicos, and LAPD brass. Reprint.

ling and intense...Sizzles with realism and detail...WHITE JAZZ is filled with heat--and is Ellroy at his best."
THE CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER
It is 1958 and the heat is on LAPD lieutenant Dave Klein. There isn't much he hasn't done in the line of duty--murder, bribery, scams, beatings, shakedowns. But now, with the Feds on the tail of blue corruption, Klein is hung out to dry as a bad example. So it's pay-up time for him. Big time. He plunges into a nightmare world of greed, blood, fists, and twisted sin. A monstrous world he created. But now the monster has turned on its creator.
