White Jazz

The final book in James Elroy’s ‘LA Quartet’ series. Los Angeles, 1958- a city on the make. A boom town at the edge of a new era ripe for plunder.

Lieutenant Dave Klein stands at the centre of a complex web of plots where violence and death will intersect. He’s a slumlord, a bagman, an enforcer–a power in his own small corner of hell. Then the Feds announce a full-out investigation into local police corruption, and everything goes haywire.
