Freddy Otash hat eine Verabredung mit dem Tod! Los Angeles im August 1962: Die Stadt leidet unter einer Hitzewelle. Marilyn Monroe wird tot aufgefunden. Ein halbwegs bekanntes Filmsternchen entführt. Das LAPD schaltet auf Angriff: Kann Chief Bill Parker aus Marilyns Tod Kapital schlagen? Der legendäre Schnüffler Freddy Otash soll ihm Informationen beschaffen. Der unehrenhaft entlassene Ex-Cop ist schmierig und korrupt. Doch er ist der Richtige für den Job. Freddy kämpft sich durch einen menschlichen Dschungel, wo niemand will, dass die Wahrheit ans Licht kommt. Er nimmt sich auch Jack und Bobby Kennedy vor und mit ihnen gleich das ganze Weiße Haus. Und schließlich entlarvt er Marilyn Monroes letztes Spiel, in einem albtraumartigen Los Angeles, das er mit erschaffen hat und das ihn jetzt mit sich selbst konfrontiert: mit seiner Komplizenschaft und seinem Wahn. »Ellroy gibt alles in diesem Buch, beim Lesen ist man von einer Art Fieber befallen.« Los Angeles Times »Dieser Roman strotzt vor Leben und atmet einen Hauch von Verfall.« The Washington Post »Es ist schlicht unmöglich, diesen Roman aus der Hand zu legen.« Daily Mail
