James Ellroy’s most famous novel is considered to be The Black Dahlia (1987), about the real-life 1947 murder case of the same name, and L.A. Confidential (1990), a noirish crime story set in Los Angeles in the 1950s. Both books are part of Ellroy’s L.A. Quartet series, which also includes The Big Nowhere (1988) and White Jazz (1992).
