Review:
"There has never been a writer like James Ellroy." (Telegraph)
"An epic and bizarrely transcendental novel that represents an extraordinary achievement by any measure ... a genuinely impressive feat of sustained literary energy: 90% of novelists couldn't get anywhere near it...His is an awe-inspiring artistic vision and this is a novel that should surely be read by new readers as well as fans." (Edward Docx Guardian)
"The master of American crime fiction." (Sunday Times)
"A triumphant return to the violent fictional world where he started – 1940s Los Angeles ... Fans will not be disappointed ... It is populated by many of Ellroy’s most memorable monsters, notably LAPD Sgt Dudley Smith ... Reading it made me want to return to the original Quartet." (Evening Standard)
"James Ellroy is back doing what he does best, weaving a tangle of tales set in wartime Los Angeles...I look forward, eagerly, to the next three instalments." (The Times)

A new novel from Ellroy is always a publishing event. That Perfidia is the first volume of his 'Second L.A. Quartet' makes this publication even more exciting.

Los Angeles, veille de Pearl Harbour : la découverte des cadavres d'une famille d'origine japonaise, les Watanabe, incite le LAPD à fabriquer un coupable pour se débarrasser du problème. Dudley Smith, l'inoubliable "méchant" du Quatuor de Los Angeles, est sur l'affaire.

L'un d'entre eux, Hideo Ashida, de la police scientifique, est une personnalité subtile et tiraillée par les sentiments troubles qu'il éprouve à l'égard de Dudley. De son côté, William Parker, jeune officier de police alcoolique, est décidé à anticiper le combat anticommuniste qui se profile. Pour cela, il lui faut une taupe, un agent provocateur.
