Description
This Storm by James Ellroy is a brilliant historical crime novel set in Los Angeles and Mexico during the aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor. In January 1942, L.A. reels behind the shock of the bombing, with local Japanese rounded up and slammed behind bars.
A body is unearthed in Griffith Park, which the cops initially dismiss as a routine dead-man job. However, it's an early warning signal of chaos. As massive thunderstorms hit the city, a series of murders, a gold heist, and Fifth Column treason erupt out of the past.
Against this backdrop of homefront madness, four complex characters navigate their own paths to history: Elmer Jackson, Hideo Ashida, Dudley Smith, and Joan Conville. This Storm is James Ellroy's most audacious novel yet, laying bare and celebrating crazed Americans of all stripes in a savage, tender, and elegiac tale.
