Times that reporter Paul Pringle thought should have taken, at most, a few weeks to check out: a drug overdose at a fancy hotel involving one of the University of Southern Californias shiniest stars-Dr. Carmen Puliafito, the head of the prestigious medical school. Pringle, whod long done battle with USC and its almost impenetrable culture of silence, knew reporting the story wouldnt be a walk in the park. USC is one of the biggest employers in L.A., and it casts a long shadow.But what he couldnt have foreseen was that this tip would lead to the unveiling of not one major scandal at USC but two, wrapped in a web of crimes and cover-ups. The rot rooted out by Pringle and his colleagues at The Times would creep closer to home than they could have imagined-spilling into their own newsroom.Packed with details never before disclosed, Pringle goes behind the scenes to reveal how he and his fellow reporters triumphed over the citys debased institutions, in a narrative that reads like L.A. noir. This is L.A. at its darkest and investigative journalism at its brightest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972552753440,"sku":"NEW1250824109","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/bad-city-peril-and-power-in-the-city-of-angels-1250824109","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
