L.A. Confidential - Classically Lacking #10

Adapted from the James Ellroy novel of the same name, LA Confidential uses a typically twisted and layered plot of deception, lies, and vice, to study its central cast of characters and their relationship to justice in a city riddled with racial tension and inequality, which means that although set in the 50’s and made in the 90’s, it still speaks to contemporary issues. mais 1.618 palavras

The Elephant of Surprise, by Joe R Lansdale (Mulholland Books, 2019)

Hap and Leonard protect a young woman from an East Texas crime family. The twelfth in the sequence is an action-oriented and brisk tall tale, leavened with Lansdale’s humour and by a real affection for the characters.  A solid series addition.
