JAMES ELLROY:

SUMMARY:

A paperback omnibus of the pivotal Dudley Smith appearances published only by Arrow Books in the U.K. Includes "The Big Nowhere," "L.A. Confidential" and "White Jazz." Presumably, the book would have been too unwieldy if Dudley Smith's first appearance, in "Clandestine," had been included. (ISBN: 0-09-940638-1).

PUBLISHER'S TEASER:

"Three of James Ellroy's most gripping L.A. novels featuring Lieutenant Dudley Smith in one volume

THE BIG NOWHERE

The City of Angels has become the city of the Angel of Death. Communist witch-hunts and insanely vicious killings are terrorising the community. Three men are plunged into a maelstrom of destruction and deceit when their lives become inextricably linked as each one confronts his own personal darkness...

L.A. CONFIDENTIAL

Christmas, 1951, Los Angeles: a city where the police are as corrupt as the criminals.

Six prisoners are beaten senseless in their cells by cops crazed on alcohol. For the three L.A.P.D. detectives involved, it will expose the guilty secrets on which they have built their corrupt and violent careers.

WHITE JAZZ

Los Angeles, 1958: a boom town at the dge of a new era ripe for plunder. Lieutenant Dave Klein: in turn a lawyer, bagman, slum landlord and mob killer now stands at the centre of a complex web of plots where violence and death will intersect."
