Bøger af Jack Webb

Have you ever smoked a joint? No? Are you curious about what it would be like to get stoned? Christian will show you. Have you ever gotten drunk? Yes? Well, have you ever gotten so drunk that you s#!t your pants? Do you wonder what that would be like? No, you don't wonder about that? Really? Huh. Christian will show you anyway. Have you ever cheated on someone who loves you? Have you ever brought a random person to a bar and later tried to have sloppy sex with him or her in the bathroom? Curious about how that kind of debauchery would go down? Christian might show you. Ever dream of success? Ever dream of being someone important? Have you ever dreamed of making a positive difference in the world? Yes? Well, so has Christian. Have you ever killed a man? Go ahead, open this book and treat yourself to a gloriously savage love story. A story populated by complex, and usually drug-addled characters. Follow Christian and his violent friend Cooper as they struggle to find identity, purpose, and love in the heart of Manhattan.

Webb's collection of stories that could not be presented on TV includes untold, behind-the-scenes accounts of the Black Dahlia murder, the Brenda Allen confessions, Stephen Nash's "thrill murders," and Donald Bashor's "sleeping lady murders," to name a few.

There has been no other epoch in American history where corruption, debauchery, sleaze and horrific murder has intersected with a society as speciously glittering and innocent as the Los Angeles of the 1940s and 50s. The Tinseltown of that age had movie star glamour on the surface but a dark, violent and unrepentant heart.
