About this product
Product Information
In 1958 Jean Ellroy was murdered, her body dumped on a roadway in a seedy L.A. suburb. Her killer was never found, and the police dismissed her as a casualty of a cheap Saturday night. James Ellroy was ten when his mother died, and he spent the next thirty-six years running from her ghost and attempting to exorcize it through crime fiction. In 1994, Ellroy quit running. He went back to L.A., to find out the truth about his mother - and himself. In My Dark Places, our most uncompromising crime writer - author of American Tabloid and White Jazz - tells what happened when he teamed up with a brilliant homicide cop to investigate a murder that everyone else had forgotten - and to reclaim the mother he had despised, desired, but never dared to love. What ensues is an epic of loss, fixation, and redemption, a memoir that is also a history of the American way of violence.

Book arrived to my little recipient several days ahead of schedule. Although I haven't yet seen the book in person to assess - I have seen the video of his joyful little face opening it, and the book itself appears exactly as listed - clean and well cared for, and nicely packaged in bubble wrap for safe travels. The price was fair as was the shipping. The hopefully tangible lifelong memory - priceless. Thank you.
