Classic Ellroy!
DIG! James Ellroy's narrative in each of these short stories is so suspenseful, so high-impact your jaw will hurt from grinding your teeth. This is his 2nd collection of short stories (I think). Take it all in or take it in bit by bit...this book bleeds noir and belongs high on the list of masterpiece prose. Thirty pages goes by in seconds. The book goes by in minutes. The stories last forever. Some people decry his current use of alliteration and beat prose. I think it's hard-hitting and brilliant. If you're in the mood for crime, but have not time, get a load of Destination: Morgue!

Sorry James! This is no L.A. Confidential
I was really disapointed in this book. He goes from one true account to one false and visa versa. I was lost. L.A. Confidential is still one of my favorites, but I am sorry, 'Destination Morgue' is headed straight for the morgue.
