Description
Freddy Otash is a man with a reputation for getting the dirt. Operating in 1950s Los Angeles, he has two simple rules: he'll do anything but commit murder, and he'll never work with the communists. As an ex-cop on the wrong side of the law, Freddy now runs as a sleazoid private eye, using his skills to gather information for Confidential magazine. Freddy's world is one of corruption and excess, where Hollywood stars and politicians are exposed for their true selves. From the luxurious torture dens of Burt Lancaster's set to the high-society parties of Liz Taylor, Freddy is always on the scene, gathering the stories that others want to keep hidden. With his reputation as the 'Tattle Tyrant Who Held Hollywood Hostage', Freddy is a force to be reckoned with in the city's underworld. In Widespread Panic, James Ellroy takes readers on a journey through the darker side of 1950s Los Angeles, exploring the inner workings of Confidential magazine and the men who ran it.
