More about the book
The narrative delves into the gritty environment of Bunker Hill, a neighborhood in downtown Los Angeles that served as a backdrop for postwar psychological crime thrillers. It highlights how novelist Raymond Chandler's depiction of hardboiled detective Philip Marlowe mirrored the real-life struggles of the area. The book uncovers the hidden crimes orchestrated by the city's elite, while also showcasing nearly eighty photographs that document the history of this now-vanished locale, offering a grassroots perspective on its significance in L.A.'s cultural landscape.
