k, but how did goldberg interact with beatie? (presumably the incident that inspired the image?) why washing the feet? Why are his shoes off? Why 'soap'?

It ain't Bret Easton Ellis, but Michael Connelly's early book capture early 90s LA pretty spot-on.

Specifically:

The Black Echo
The Black Ice
The Concrete Blonde
The Last Coyote
Trunk Music
Angel's Flight
City of Bones
Echo Park

A later book - The Black Box - has a long opening sequence set during the Rodney King riot, which it captures pitch perfect.

Connelly has a very good feel for LA, indeed.
