This book by James Ellroy came up once on Tim Ferriss in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: B. Jeffrey Madoff. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
Classic L.A. Noir... terse dialogue, sharp characters and better than the movie.
