About the Book

Quartet, Underworld USA Trilogy, My Dark Places, Lloyd Hopkins Trilogy, . Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: The L.A. Quartet is a sequence of four crime fiction novels by James Ellroy. The novels, set in the late 1940s through the late 1950s in Los Angeles, are: Several characters from the L.A. Quartet, most notably Dudley Smith, were introduced in Ellroy's 1983 novel Clandestine, which takes place between 1951 and 1955 and makes reference to the Black Dahlia killings and Smith's investigation into them. The Black Dahlia, the first novel in the series follows a brutal murder in the late '40s. January 15, 1947, is the date Elizabeth Short's body is discovered in a vacant lot. Officers Dwight "Bucky" Bleichert and Leland "Lee" Blanchard, partners and local celebrities from their boxing days, aid the investigation. The next novel, The Big Nowhere, takes place in the early 1950s amidst the Red Scare in Hollywood. Former LAPD detective Buzz Meeks, who now works as an enforcer for Mickey Cohen and a pimp for Howard Hughes, gets caught up in a communist investigation that has ties to a series of homosexual murders that are being investigated by a Sheriff's deputy named Danny Upshaw. The work of Meeks and Upshaw also crosses paths with the investigations of Mal Considine and Dudley Smith, who are working on a communist case of their own. The third novel, L.A. Confidential spans the length of about eight years- from early 1950 to about April 1958. The story begins in February 21, 1950, with Buzz Meeks being found at an abandoned auto court where he is hiding out. Meeks is killed by Dudley Smith, and the eighteen pounds of heroin Meeks stole from a Jack Dragna-Mickey Cohen truce meeting, is subsequently retrieved by Smith....More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=6367701
