People say that of James Ellroy. I've tried reading LA Confidential. My goodness is that guy scatterbrained. Then again, I thought the movie was grossly overrated, too. Morally conflicted protagonist just works better with gangster characters. With cops? yawn.
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
