If you like crime writing, you can't beat James Ellroy.
"The Big Nowhere," "L.A. Confidential," - that shit sings. |

Saw the thread and wondered where Ellroy would rate. I am still waiting for the 3rd volume in the last saga.
"White Jazz" was the best of the LA Quartet.
Lehane is good too.
GTRM, Chelsea Cain put out a book called "Heartsick" that was pretty good too.

You have to have a penis in order to receive an invitation to one of blue's parties. Or so I've heard. |

Good thing I'm straight. Sitting on a couch with a bunch of dudes is not for me anyway. |

And if you ve enjoyed Ellroy baby ,you can go for "king suckerman" by George Pelecanos, a fantastic book by a great writer!!
his Washington saga is IMHO at the same level of Ellroy's LA stuff, may be with more humor and less details  |

Michael Connelly is quite good. Lately, I've been reading the Lord Lynley mysteries. |
