LA Confidential by James Ellroy
One of the best (and longest) crime novels ever written, it is the heart of Ellroy's four-novel masterpiece, the LA Quartet, and an example of crime writing at its most powerful.

No emotion is spared; the writing is sparse, the plotting controlled. Not for the faint of heart, this is a big, powerful crime novel and possibly the first important example of the genre in the 1990s * Sunday Telegraph *
Empty of any unessentials and full of wise-cracking wit * Mail on Sunday *
