If you are a fan of the original tv series or not this book is an insightful look into some serious crimes that took place in Los Angeles and some of the inter workings of the police departments there. Though the time period is generally the 50s and 60s much of the police methodology is still used today. In those days there were no sophisticated computers and dna technology so detectives depended on their wits and sometimes, snitches. Well written and interesting, I couldn't put it down.
Great book! Glad it went into reprint! I could see why James Ellroy was obsessed over this book. It has all the elements of film noir. The stories hypnotize you, and you become eager to find out more.
This is a good book if you are interested in this sort of thing. It is not as gritty as you would think, it's a series of anecdotal stories of the people in the LAPD. It is little bit dated, but that makes it fun to read.
the book retails for double of what i paid, the shipping was quick. in all the eabyer was and is a fine quaulity of eaby sales. i will buy again and again......sincerly.........borie64.
