商品簡介
"A seething, sinful tale.... This is narrative nonfiction at its best....More compelling than anything the imagination might dare to conjure."---Karen Abbott, author of Sin in the Second City
LOS Angeles was the fastest-growing city in the world, mad with oil fever, get-rich-quick schemes, and celebrity scandals. It was also rife with organized crime, with a mayor in the pocket of the syndicates and a DA taking bribes to throw trials. In A Bright and Guilty Place, Richard Rayner narrates the entwined lives of two men, Dave Clark and Leslie White, who were caught up in the crimes, murders, and swindles of the day. Over a few transformative years, as the boom times shaded into the Depression, the adventures of Clark and White would inspire pulp fiction and replace L.A.'s reckless optimism with a new cynicism. Together, theirs is the tale of how the city of sunshine went noir.
"[A] multifaceted literary high-wire act....Rayner can write an engaging sentence and construct an artful, evocative yarn."---The New York Times Book Review
"Uses crime as a key to the secrets of this seductive metropolis....A boundless source of creepy joy."---The Washington Post
