About this product

Product Information

James Ellroy, the undisputed master of crime writing, has teamed up with the Los Angeles Police Museum to present a stunning text on 1953 LA. While combing the museum's photo archives, Ellroy discovered that the year featured a wide array of stark and unusual imagery - and he has written 25,000 words that illuminate the crimes and law enforcement of the era. Ellroy offers context and layers on wild and rich atmosphere - this is the cauldron that was police work in the city of the tarnished angels more than six decades ago. More than 80 duotone photos are spread throughout the book in the manner of hard-edged police evidence.

  • A coffee table accessory not to be left out on the coffee table

    For the completist Ellroy fan. Get down and dirty with the real LAPD. Those grainy grey photos we remember from the ‘True Detective’ magazines of our youth. Described in prose so slick that with a knowing wink moves into self parody A great accompaniment to your JE book displayed to show just how cool you are.
