CLANDESTINE - JAMES ELLROY KARTONIERT (TB)

In James Ellroy's riveting second novel  an ambitious beat cop is hot on the trail of a serial
killer who frequents L.A. dive bars and preys on the fallen women he finds there. Los Angeles 
1951. For Officer Fred Underhill  the job is all about the wonder  an elusive quality he finds
while dealing with the city s drunks  hopheads  gunsels  and burglars. When he s not reveling
in the glory of cleaning up the streets  he s on the green or scoring women. But Underhill s
ambition and allegiance to the badge get the better of him when a grim opportunity to prove his
worth arises. Catching a serial strangler who is snuffing out women would all but ensure his
place at the top. As he climbs his way up  the hungry rookie wheels and deals with some of the
force s most unscrupulous officers  and when the case goes sideways and fast  the eyes of the
very law he serves will be trained on him. Now Underhill s only chance to redeem himself is to
pick up the trail of the soulless killer and close the case himself.
