/*About the Book:*/
/L.A. Private Eyes/ examines the tradition of the private eye as it 
evolves in films, books, and television shows set in Los Angeles from 
the 1930’s through the present day. It takes a closer look at 
narratives—both on screen and on the printed page—in which detectives 
travel the streets of Los Angeles, uncovering corruption, moral 
ambiguity, and greed with the conviction of urban cowboys, while always 
ultimately finding truth and redemption. With a review of Los Angeles 
history, crime stories, and film noir, /L.A. Private Eyes/ explores the 
metamorphosis of the solitary detective figure and the many facets of 
the genre itself, from noir to mystery, on the screen. While the 
conventions of the genre may have remained consistent and recognizable, 
the points where they evolve illuminate much about our changing gender 
and power roles.
