White Jazz

White Jazz
by James Ellroy

White Jazz follows LA Confidential in Ellroy's LA Quintet. It's the final book, and the one where you can finally see the end of the shadowy villain. After the wide, epic expanse of Confidential, White Jazz burns like a focused torch. It's still plotted to such an extreme that you might want to take notes, but this time the action stretches out over a few weeks, not decades. It might be the last Ellroy novel you can get through without going insane. Quite a ride.
