Los Angeles, 1958. Killings, beatings, bribes, shakedowns--it's standard procedure for Lieutenant Dave Klein, LAPD. He's a slumlord, a bagman, an enforcer--a power in his own small corner of hell. Then the Feds announce a full-out investigation into local police corruption, and everything goes haywire.
Klein's been hung out as bait, "a bad cop to draw the heat," and the heat's coming from all sides: from local politicians, from LAPD brass, from racketeers and drug kingpins--all of them hell-bent on keeping their own secrets hidden. For Klein, "forty-two and going on dead," it's dues time.
Klein tells his own story--his voice clipped, sharp, often as brutal as the events he's describing--taking us with him on a journey through a world shaped by monstrous ambition, avarice, and perversion. It's a world he created, but now he'll do anything to get out of it alive.
Fierce, riveting, and honed to a razor edge, White Jazz is crime fiction at its most shattering.
2017.11.28 ~ 2017.12.11 总算读完了。《L.A. Confidential》系列的阅读体验真是一本比一本差。《White Jazz》简直跟分镜头剧本似的,70%的文字都是词组的罗列。全书架构是很好的,但是这种写作风格是我非常非常不喜欢的。

评分第一人称写noir硬汉侦探故事真是太...酷...了.....!!!!!酷到没朋友!为詹神献出膝盖T T~Dave/Meg是我觉得整套书最戳人的BG。虽然主角只是DvE的叙述工具,但后来了解到詹神母亲遇害——奠定他写50sLAPD题材小说的那件事的日期正是凶手双亲被飞来横祸夺去生命的日子,还是感觉心情沉重。詹神用第一人称写这个主角,想必也是因为糅进了如此私人化的情节吧。(还有Dave对酒的态度,也感觉是他自己戒酒后的心得。)个性的叙事不再赘述,这本书后段那种越来越浓的悲壮的谢幕感实在太让人绝望。正篇最后一句话"Gone, just like that"也是我看完这套小说的心境。人如蝼蚁啊。有的人死去,有的人在痛苦中度过漫漫余生。这不只是LA,这是这个我们生存的世界。
