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.
