Reviews
"His spare noir style . . . hits like a cleaver but . . . is honed like a scalpel." -Chicago Tribune"Nobody in this generation matches the breadth and depth of James Ellroy's way with noir." -The Detroit News"One of the great American writers of our time." -Los Angeles Times"Our best living mystery writer. . . . Literate, suspenseful, honest. . . . His pages crackle with maniac energy. . . . Ellroy captures the vocabulary, the rituals, the smells and rhythms and colors of real people living on the edge. . . . Nobody since Chandler has evoked so perfectly the seamy side of LA. " -Austin Chronicle
