by James Ellroy
$9.90
The Big Nowhere
The Big Nowhere

Los Angeles noir tale of crime and redemption.

If you're captivated by the gritty underbelly of 1950s Los Angeles, where jazz is more than background music and detectives are hard-boiled with personal demons, "The Big Nowhere" is your next must-read indulgence. James Ellroy's masterful weaving of historical accuracy and enthralling fiction will not only grip you but also offer a layered perspective on themes like ambition, corruption, and morality.
