Funny, I just started reading LA Confidential last nightI was skeptical - hard boiled crime fiction isn't really my thing, but Christ, what a cracking first chapter! Immediately hooked.

if you canStop reading that one and start with The Black Dahlia. There are plots that run across the four books and it all starts with Dahlia, plus they are chronological and he never let's up with the pace or style. That said you won't be disappointed if you read them out of sequence. I can't recommend him enough. But take note of Scrape and don't waste your time on his latest stuff...and keep it on the QT.
