{"product_id":"hollywood-nocturnes-9780307278791","title":"Hollywood Nocturnes","description":"Dig it. A famous musician-cum-draft dodger is plotting the perfect celebrity snatch-his own. An ex-con raging on revenge in High Darktown becomes a cop's worst nightmare. While chasing kidnappers, two cops stumble on an okie town as bloody as the O.K. Corral. A strongarm for Howard Hughes and mobster Mickey Cohen finds himself playing both ends against the middle, all for a murderously magnificent moll. This is L.A., Ellroy style-corrupt cops, goons with guns, rattling roadsters-and all in the staccato rhythm of the streets. \u003ci\u003eHollywood Nocturnes\u003c\/i\u003e shows us the seedy side of glamorous Hollywood, laid out like a corpse in the morgue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJames Ellroy was born in Los Angeles in 1948.
