Description

The Mysterious Bookshop owner Otto Penzler talks with James Ellroy, author of the L.A. Quartet: The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, L.A. Confidential and White Jazz, and the Underworld USA Trilogy: American Tabloid, The Cold Six Thousand and Blood's A Rover. These seven novels have won numerous honors and were international bestsellers. His latest novel, Perfidia, was acclaimed by Carl Hiassen as "A brilliant, breakneck ride. Nobody except James Ellroy could pull this off. He doesn't merely write—he ignites and demolishes."
