　　Other cities have histories. Los Angeles has legends. 　　

Midcentury Los Angeles. A city sold to the world as "the white

spot of America," a land of sunshine and orange groves, wholesome

Midwestern values and Hollywood stars, protected by the world’s

most famous police force, the Dragnet-era LAPD. Behind this public

image lies a hidden world of "pleasure girls" and crooked cops,

ruthless newspaper tycoons, corrupt politicians, and East Coast

gangsters on the make. Into this underworld came two men–one L.A.’s

most notorious gangster, the other its most famous police

chief–each prepared to battle the other for the soul of the city.

Former street thug turned featherweight boxer Mickey Cohen left

the ring for the rackets, first as mobster Benjamin "Bugsy"

Siegel’s enforcer, then as his protégé. A fastidious dresser and

unrepentant killer, the diminutive Cohen was Hollywood’s favorite

gangster–and L.A.’s preeminent underworld boss. Frank Sinatra,

Robert Mitchum, and Sammy Davis Jr. palled around with him; TV

journalist Mike Wallace wanted his stories; evangelist Billy Graham

sought his soul. 　　

William H. Parker was the proud son of a pioneering

law-enforcement family from the fabled frontier town of Deadwood.

As a rookie patrolman in the Roaring Twenties, he discovered that

L.A. was ruled by a shadowy "Combination"–a triumvirate of tycoons,

politicians, and underworld figures where alliances were shifting,

loyalties uncertain, and politics were practiced with shotguns and

dynamite. Parker’s life mission became to topple it–and to create a

police force that would never answer to elected officials again.

These two men, one morally unflinching, the other unflinchingly

immoral, would soon come head-to-head in a struggle to control the

city–a struggle that echoes unforgettably through the fiction of

Raymond Chandler and movies such as The Big Sleep, Chinatown, and

L.A. Confidential. 　　

For more than three decades, from Prohibition through the Watts

Riots, the battle between the underworld and the police played out

amid the nightclubs of the Sunset Strip and the mansions of Beverly

Hills, from the gritty streets of Boyle Heights to the manicured

lawns of Brentwood, intersecting in the process with the agendas

and ambitions of J. Edgar Hoover, Robert F. Kennedy, and Malcolm X.

The outcome of this decades-long entanglement shaped modern

American policing–for better and for worse–and helped create the

Los Angeles we know today. 　　

A fascinating examination of Los Angeles’s underbelly, the Mob,

and America’s most admired–and reviled–police department, L.A. Noir

is an enlightening, entertaining, and richly detailed narrative

about the city originally known as El Pueblo de Nuestra Se–ora la

Reina de los Angeles, "The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the

Angels."

  最近开始在集中攻读法语名著，首先引入眼帘的是被誉为“现代法国小说之父”的巴尔扎克的代表作；本以为是讲吝啬鬼葛朗台的故事，没想到是讲悲惨女欧仁妮的故事，低于心里预期的一本书，盛名之下，其实难副。男人在跌入深渊时许下的承诺是最不可信的，因为终有一天会从深渊中爬出，然后就不会再想回到深渊，无可厚非的人性。
