THIS STORM by James Ellroy, read by Craig Wasson
It’s 1942, and L.A. is experiencing torrential storms—and is caught in the storm of WWII. The gritty story picks up after PERFIDIA, with dirty cops, lost gold, found bodies, racist propaganda, and Japanese internment camps creating a dark atmosphere.

Show Notes
Craig Wasson mans the mic like a jazz poet in this second installment of Ellroy’s L.A. WWII trilogy that began with PERFIDIA. The audiobook sizzles with the slang and accents of wartime Los Angeles in a story full of murder, missing gold, and fire set against a backdrop of war and racist paranoia. Wasson delivers Ellroy’s lyricism while also presenting the harsh language of humanity's underbelly. Published by Random House Audio.
