When Fat Dog, a shady golf caddy, wabbles into Brown's office and offers him an unseemly amount of cash to tail Jane (Fat Dog's 17 year-old little sister), Brown thinks that he's in for some easy money. But nothing is as it seems...the deceptively simple job leads Brown into a cesspool of corruption and danger, pitting him against mobsters, lowlifes, corrupt bureaucrats, and demons from his own past. Based upon neo-noir master James Ellroy's (author of L.A. CONFIDENTIAL) first novel. [More]
