James Ellroy discusses and signs his new book: Blood's A Rover October 16, 2009

“Ellroy concludes the scorching trilogy begun with 1995’s American Tabloid with a crushing bravura performance. As ever, his sentences are gems of concision . . . It’s impossible not to read Blood’s A Rover with a sense of awe . . . It’s a stunning and crazy book that could only have been written by the premier lunatic of American letters.”
–Publishers Weekly (starred)

Summer, 1968. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy are dead. The assassination conspiracies have begun to unravel. A dirty-tricks squad is getting ready to deploy at the Democratic Convention in Chicago. Black militants are warring in southside L.A. The Feds are concocting draconian countermeasures. And fate has placed three men at the vortex of History.

Political noir as only James Ellroy can write it—our recent past razed and fully reconstructed—Blood’s A Rover is a novel of astonishing depth and scope, a massive tale of corruption and retribution, of ideals at war and the extremity of love. It is the largest and greatest work of fiction from an American master.

Ellroy's L.A. Quartet novels—The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, L.A. Confidential, and White Jazz—were international best sellers. He is also the author of award-winning books American Tabloid; his memoir, My Dark Places; and novel The Cold Six Thousand. Ellroy lives in Los Angeles.
