Perfidia

NATIONAL BESTSELLER Â Â Â
AN NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

Los Angeles. December, 1941. America stands at the brink of World War II. War fever and racial hatred grip the city.
Â
The hellish murder of a Japanese family summons three men and one woman. LAPD captain William H. Parker is superbly gifted, corrosively ambitious, liquored-up, and consumed by dubious ideology. He is bitterly at odds with Sergeant Dudley Smithâ€”Irish Ã©migrÃ©, ex-IRA killer, fledgling war profiteer. Hideo Ashida is a police chemist and the only Japanese on the L.A. cop payroll. Kay Lake is a twenty-one-year-old dilettante looking for adventure. The investigation throws them together and rips them apart. The crime becomes a political storm center that brilliantly illuminates these four driven soulsâ€”comrades, rivals, lovers, historyâ€™s pawns.
Â
Here, Ellroy gives us the party at the edge of the abyss and the precipice of Americaâ€™s ascendance. PerfidiaÂ isÂ that moment, spellbindingly captured.
