Just finished Perfidia which the author says will be the first - TopicsExpress



          

Just finished Perfidia which the author says will be the first volume in a WWII LA series. If you loved the LA Series and the American Tabloid series, you have to love this book, because it includes many of the best characters from the later books, including Dudley Smith who is the anti-hero with a big emphasis on both anti and hero. Great to see his female characters get voices (Kay, from The Black Dahlia even gets first person). I think the spiritual mother-child reunion that Mr. Ellroy described in his work about his real life mother, My Dark Places has been beneficial. Oh, and anyone who does not like Ellroys style has not been paying attention to 20th century American literature. Ellroy is the Faulkner of noir.
