On motorhome repairs
I never really got why the author and some readers consider Bucky such a good guys, though I did admire his persistence at the end. And he/the author is upfront at the beginning, telling you upfront he betrayed his Japanese childhood friends (though this is sort of unclear - all Japanese had to go to the camps during World War 2, so I don't see precisely how Bucky ratted them out. How would they have escaped anyway? Lived in an attic like Anne Franke? So I didn't quite get how or why Madelaine attracted him so much because she looked like Black Dahlia. It was necrophilia as he's accused of later. And I didn't quite understand his final dilemma. He did hide his tailing of Madelaine, but that hardly seems like enough of a violation to ruin his career given him actually finding the Dahlia's killer. This is a time when cops are taking bribes and beating up suspects and winos on the street and so on. Even if he performed motorhome repairs, it wouldn't seem enough of a problem given everything else the cops were getting away with. And he'd discovered one cop who was extorting money from crooks - and his fellow cops hated him for it.
