Book Review: Great Stories About Hollywood Times Gone By
Summary: 5 Stars
Hollywood Nocturnes is a collection of seven mystery stories mostly set in the Hollywood scene of the 1940's & 1950's. Many of these stories are clearly inspired by the true crime case of Elizabeth Short aka The Black Dahlia.
These stories show Ellroy at his best as an author of Hollywood mystery stories and are a must for anyone wanting to escape into a neatly done mystery.
Summary of Hollywood Nocturnes (Vintage)
Dig it. A famous musician-cum-draft dodger is plotting the perfect celebrity snatch?his own. An ex-con raging on revenge in High Darktown becomes a cop's worst nightmare. While chasing kidnappers, two cops stumble on an okie town as bloody as the O.K. Corral. A strongarm for Howard Hughes and mobster Mickey Cohen finds himself playing both ends against the middle, all for a murderously magnificent moll. This is L.A., Ellroy style?corrupt cops, goons with guns, rattling roadsters?and all in the staccato rhythm of the streets. Hollywood Nocturnes shows us the seedy side of glamorous Hollywood, laid out like a corpse in the morgue.Literature & Fiction Books
