About this item
Freddy Otash is the man in the know and the man to know in 50s L.A. He operates with two simple rules--he'll do anything but commit murder, and he'll never work with the commies.Freddy is an ex-L.A. cop on the skids. He snuffed a cop killer in cold blood--and it got to him bad. So Chief William H. Parker canned him. Now he's a sleazoid private eye, a shakedown artist, a pimp--and, most notably, the head strongarm goon for Confidential magazine. Confidential presaged the idiot internet--and delivered the dirt, the dish, the insidious ink and the scurrilous skank on the feckless foibles of misanthropic movie stars, sex-soiled socialites, and potzo politicians. Freaky Freddy outs them all!In Widespread Panic, we traverse the depths of 50s L.A. and dig on the inner workings of Confidential.
