Los Angeles, August 4, 1962. The city broils through a midsummer heat wave. Marilyn Monroe ODs. A B-movie starlet is kidnapped. The overhyped LAPD overreacts. Chief Bill Parker’s looking for some getback. The Monroe deal looks like a moneymaker. He calls in Freddy Otash. The freewheeling Freddy O: tainted ex-cop, defrocked private eye, dope fiend, and freelance extortionist. A man who lives by the maxim “Opportunity is love.” Freddy gets to work. He dimly perceives Marilyn Monroe’s death and the kidnapped starlet to be a poisonous riddle that only he has the guts and the brains to untangle

Ellroy’s Prose Crackles, Wasson’s deeply emotional performance
Revisado: 11-24-23
Craig Wasson, star of the ever underrated De Palma flick Body Double, hits this reading out of the park. The characterizations, the emotions he takes on & transmutes, all while slamming home Ellroy’s fastball web of jargon, fractured language and repetitious rhythms. This & Wasson’s version of Blood’s a Rover are not to be missed. I didn’t think I liked books on tape in general, especially not epics like latterday Ellroy, until I heard these.
