January '42. LA reels behind the shock of Pearl Harbor. Local Japanese are rounded up and slammed behind bars. Massive thunderstorms hit the city. A body is unearthed in Griffith Park.

The cops tag it as a routine dead-man job. They’re wrong. It’s an early warning signal of chaos.

There’s a murderous fire and a gold heist. There’s Fifth Column treason on American soil. There are homegrown Nazis, commies and race racketeers. There’s two dead cops in a dive off the jazz-club strip. And three men and one woman have a hot date with history.

Great presentation. the narration brings the words to life. I will now look for the subsequent novel.

Great 'Read''

While you’ll need to read the preceding books to get the most from ‘This Storm’, it’s without question the best crime novel that wasn’t written by Raymond Chandler. Superb story, brilliantly written & excellently read.

Best so far

The whole gamut of the war and how it threw together these amazing characters. I am biaised because I love Ellroy, but I read the book and loved it and found a totally different - and as good an experience - in listening to it.

Complex and fantastic

As ever, Ellroy's staccato, machine-gun style and casual brutality are perfectly rendered by the brilliant narrator, Jeff Harding. As ever, the story is savage, violent and tortuously complex, but it helps to have read the previous novel, Presidia. Trying to work out exactly what's going on and why is probably a mistake. The author make sure that different characters summarise what's happening on a regular basis. Much better to sit back, pour yourself a whiskey, and enjoy the ride. It's energetic and fast-paced, and conjures up the period and the locations superbly. As usual, the characters are mainly immoral, amral or complicit. Corruption is all pervasive, and everything you might expect from James Ellroy is here in spades.
I usually need a bit of a break between his books in order to recover. But I have already pre-ordered the next in this series.

Strap yourself in

Read lots of Ellroy including this one, first time I've listened. Im very familiar with the characters and i think the narrator nailed them and the tone, really did it justice. If the same actor does others I'll purchase.

If you haven't read Ellroy dont start here. Try Black Dahlia which is 1st of a quartet which includes LA confidential. . There are earlier books but IMO thats when he really gets going, once you're hooked, go to the earlier.

Brilliant Narration
