This is the city, Los Angeles, California. I work here, I carry a badge. The story you are about to see is true... Before Charlie's Angels, Miami Vice, or NYPD Blue, there was Dragnet. From 1951 to 1959, Jack Webb starred as Sergeant Joe Friday in the most successful police drama in television history. Webb (Just the facts, ma'am) was also the creator of Dragnet, and what made the show so revolutionary was its documentary-style format and the fact that each episode was ripped from the files of the LAPD. But 1950s television censors deemed many of the stories in the LAPD's files too violent or sensational for the airwaves. The Badge is Webb's collection of stories that could not be presented on TV: 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 just a few. Case by case, The Badge takes readers on a spine chilling police tour through the dark, shadowy world of Los Angeles crime. Some books influence a writer. Books rarely shape a writer's curiosity whole. I'm anomalous that way. I got lucky at the get-go. It was one-stop imaginative shopping. I found all my stuff in one book. — James Ellroy on The Badge Trade Books>Trade Paperback>True Crime>True Crime>True Crime, CreateSpace Publishing Core >1<
