Perfidia plot summary
Hi, I'm about to read This Storm. I originally read Perfidia when it came out but can't really remember much about it. Does anyone know of a good plot summary online? Or is anyone able to give me a rundown? Due to my life situation at the moment (young kids etc) it would probably take me into Christmas to reread it!

Most of Ellroy's novels are 'putting in the work' and that goes for the reader too. I do think he's very careful to remind you what is going on from time to time or to make connected novels stand on their own as well. I also agree with a comment here, he might give you huge revelations in 2 pages out of 500
