Driving down to L.A. soon to play with my camera, see what's
cooking and check out the architecture. Does anyone have
recommendations for a quintessential or just plain good L.A.
crime novel? For that matter, recommendations for hardboiled
buildings would be welcome, as well. Do such a things exist?
Everytime I pass a certain, circa 1920's, office building in
downtown Oakland, with it's aura of urban decay, I look up
and think, "the perfect place for a private eye." Then
there's the art deco apartment building on San Francisco's
Telegraph Hill, where Bacall took Bogie in "Dark Passage" or
the Flood Building on Market Street, where Sam Spade had his
office, in the "Maltese Falcon." So, I guess, by association,
such things do exist. I'd like to find a few more,
particularly in L.A.
Thanks,
-Dennis
