December, 1941. America stands at the brink of World War II. War fever and racial hatred grip the city. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The hellish murder of a Japanese family summons three men and one woman. LAPD captain William H. Parker is superbly gifted, corrosively ambitious, liquored-up, and consumed by dubious ideology. He is bitterly at odds with Sergeant Dudley Smith--Irish  migr , ex-IRA killer, fledgling war profiteer. Hideo Ashida is a police chemist and the only Japanese on the L.A. cop payroll. Kay Lake is a twenty-one-year-old dilettante looking for adventure. The investigation throws them together and rips them apart. The crime becomes a political storm center that brilliantly illuminates these four driven souls--comrades, rivals, lovers, history's pawns. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Here, Ellroy gives us the party at the edge of the abyss and the precipice of America's ascendance. \u003ci\u003ePerfidia\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e that moment, spellbindingly captured.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Ellroy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0307946673\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307946676\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.20w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/26\/2015 pg. 24","brand":"James Ellroy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044378865919,"sku":"9780307946676","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ba60ce9-ef8f-470c-bb0f-bcf89e68efca.jpg?v=1684972512","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/perfidia-james-ellroy-9780307946676","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
