Brown's Requiem
by James Ellroy

A golf caddy named "Fat Dog" approaches detective Fitz Brown with a mission: uncover the reason his sister has taken up with a much older benefactor. Brown soon enters a world of racism, corruption, arson, shifting loyalties, and a network of illegal trades. Come join us in discussing this 1981 debut novel by James Ellroy, the master of LA Noir.

 

Each month, a member of Brown Bag Mystery Readers nominates a mystery novel and leads a discussion. A librarian is on-hand to facilitate the book chat and to update the group with any news. All Mechanics' Institute members are welcome to join these meetings. Brown Bag Mystery Readers meets the 2nd Monday of every month (excluding holidays).
