Danny Upshaw, a young detective, is obsessed with solving a series of brutal murders of gay men, whose cases lead him into the dark depths of his own psyche. Mal Considine, an ambitious lieutenant, joins an anti-communist investigation to secure a promotion, but faces moral compromises. Buzz Meeks, a corrupt cop and former mercenary, is entangled in a web of blackmail, drugs and Hollywood secrets. Their stories are connected by an investigation into a communist conspiracy in the film industry, which is supported by powerful people like Howard Hughes.

Ellroy masterfully builds an atmosphere of paranoia, betrayal and violence, revealing the dark side of the American dream.

The novel explores themes of greed, lust, and political manipulation, as the characters balance personal demons and professional duties. "The Great Nothingness" is a complex story about the loss of innocence and the impossibility of escaping corruption, with a frenetic pace and raw style.
