When you think of Los Angeles, images of movie stars, sunshine and a laid-back lifestyle come to mind. Yet in Richard Rayner's new book, he describes a very different kind of town. Like a tale by the great noir fiction greats Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, Rayner describes some of L.A.'s most high profile scandals and murders. Richard Rayner joins Larry Mantle to talk about his book and LA’s scandalous coming of age.
