Una misteriosa banda di rapinatori arabi semina il terrore a Los Angeles con una serie di omicidi. Il detective Jenson, sulle tracce degli assassini, scopre che Donna, la diva di cui è follemente innamorato, lavora con uno pseudoregista trash, De Freeze, che non solo filma scene erotiche per poi ricattare le vittime, ma finanzia anche il terrorismo islamico. Quando si accorge che Donna ha accettato di collaborare con la polizia per incastrarlo, De Freeze la rapisce e fugge. Jenson saprà non solo liberare l'amata, ma anche sventare un attentato alla notte degli Oscar, che avrebbe dovuto inaugurare una stagione di stragi e disastri.

James Ellroy was born in Los Angeles in 1948. His L.A. Quartet novels—The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, L.A. Confidential, and White Jazz—were international best sellers. His novel American Tabloid was Time magazine’s Best Book (fiction) of 1995; his memoir, My Dark Places, was a Time Best Book of the Year and a New York Times Notable Book for 1996. His novel The Cold Six Thousand was a New York Times Notable Book and a Los Angeles Times Best Book for 2001. Ellroy lives in Los Angeles. Ellroy is known for a "telegraphic" writing style, which omits words other writers would consider necessary, and often features sentence fragments. His books are noted for their dark humor and depiction of American authoritarianism. Other hallmarks of his work include dense plotting and a relentlessly pessimistic worldview. Ellroy has been called the "Demon Dog of American crime fiction." See also http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0255278/
