✦ Synopsis

Los Angeles i starten af 1950’erne. Byen er forblændet af Hollywood-glitter og avisløgne. Den unge betjent Fred Underhill bruger sine nætter på at støve piger op. Da en af hans erobringer findes myrdet, hvirvles han ind i efterforskningen og kommer på kant med magtfulde politifolk. Sagen eskalerer med skæbnesvangre konsekvenser for Fred, der bliver fyret i vanære og droppet af sit livs store kærlighed. Hans eneste mulighed for at rense sit navn er at finde den seriemorder, der bragte ham til fald. James Ellroy (f. 1948) er en amerikansk forfatter og essayist. En omtumlet barndom og ungdom fik ham til at interessere sig for vrangsiden af efterkrigstidens USA, der på overfladen var præget af velstand, økonomisk opsving og en voksende middelklasse. Særligt er han kendt for serien "Los Angeles-kvartetten", der kredser om Los Angelses' underverden i 1940'erne og 1950'erne. Forfatterskabet har indbragt Ellroy adskillige priser, herunder The Grand Master Award i 2015 - en ærespris, der gives til forfattere, hvis livsværk holder en ualmindelig høj kvalitet. Flere af Ellroys bøger er filmatiseret, heriblandt den anmelderroste "L.A. Confidential" fra 1997 med blandt andre Kevin Spacey og Russell Crowe i hovedrollerne.
