A Mysterious Press Book
"Nobody in this generation matches the breadth and depth of James Ellroy's way with noir."
-Detroit News
"Ellroy spares no sensibilities."
-Los Angeles Times
"Always a master at painting the dark portrait, Ellroy put down his broad brush for a sharp pen...He's stripped down the language to a hard, cutting tool."
-Associated Press
"Brutal and at the same time believable."
-New York Times
"An undeniably artful frenzy of violence, guilt, and unappeased self-loathing. Ellroy's crime fiction represents a high mark in the genre."
-New York Newsday
"Ellroy has shifted the margins...these operatic historical novels of postwar Los Angeles are evolutionary advances in crime fiction."
-L.A. Weekly
