Description	Perfidia is a historical and crime fiction novel by American author James Ellroy. Published in 2014, it is the first novel in The Second L.A. Quartet, referring to his four prior novels from the first L.A. Quartet. Ellroy dedicated Perfidia "To LISA STAFFORD". The epigraph is "Envy thou not the oppressor, And choose none of his ways. -Proverbs 3:31". Ellroy also includes the definition of Fifth Column. Janson is the typeface for Perfidia.Perfidia was released September 9, 2014. A Waterstones exclusive limited edition of Perfidia was released September 11, 2014, and includes an essay by Ellroy himself titled "Ellroy's History – Then and Now." Retrieved 10 September 2014 The main characters of Perfidia are Hideo Ashida, a Japanese LAPD chemist, Kay Lake, a young woman looking for adventure, the real life William H. Parker, a gifted LAPD captain with a drinking problem, and Dudley Smith, an LAPD sergeant born in Dublin, Ireland, and raised in Los Angeles. The novel is told in real-time, covering twenty-three days with the dates and the time the chapters and events are occurring, as well as through Kay Lake's diary. An entry from Kay Lake's diary begins Perfidia, followed by a bootleg transmitter radio broadcast on Friday, December 5, 1941, being broadcast by real life Gerald L. K. Smith. The first chapter introduces the reader to Hideo Ashida, on Saturday, December 6, 1941, at 9:08 a.m. Since many fictional and real life characters appear in Perfidia, many from his prior novels, Ellroy added a Dramatis personæ, which notes the previous appearances of characters in Perfidia, as well as short summaries for some of the characters.
