Review:
"A vivid, enthralling read... James Ellroy is the outstanding American crime writer of his generation" (Independent)
"Recent novels by the likes of Carl Hiassen, Andrew Vachss and George V Higgins have at best been treading water. James Ellroy may be the exception. He seems in less danger of burnout than of going supernova" (New Statesman and Society)
"One of the great American writers of our time" (Los Angeles Times Book Review)
"White Jazz makes previous detective fiction read like Dr. Seuss" (San Francisco Examiner)
"Riffling, rolling, reeling . . . Ellroy's best" (The Denver Post)
