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 總算讀完瞭。《L.A. Confidential》係列的閱讀體驗真是一本比一本差。《White Jazz》簡直跟分鏡頭劇本似的，70%的文字都是詞組的羅列。全書架構是很好的，但是這種寫作風格是我非常非常不喜歡的。
评分第一人稱寫noir硬漢偵探故事真是太...酷...瞭.....!!!!!酷到沒朋友！為詹神獻齣膝蓋T T~Dave/Meg是我覺得整套書最戳人的BG。雖然主角隻是DvE的敘述工具，但後來瞭解到詹神母親遇害——奠定他寫50sLAPD題材小說的那件事的日期正是凶手雙親被飛來橫禍奪去生命的日子，還是感覺心情沉重。詹神用第一人稱寫這個主角，想必也是因為糅進瞭如此私人化的情節吧。(還有Dave對酒的態度，也感覺是他自己戒酒後的心得。)個性的敘事不再贅述，這本書後段那種越來越濃的悲壯的謝幕感實在太讓人絕望。正篇最後一句話"Gone, just like that"也是我看完這套小說的心境。人如螻蟻啊。有的人死去，有的人在痛苦中度過漫漫餘生。這不隻是LA，這是這個我們生存的世界。
