Title Description At the peak of his career as a mystery writer, James Ellroy turns his talents to a powerful and disturbing memoir. At its center lies this brutal fact: in 1958 a 43-year-old woman was found strangled in a town 12 miles east of Los Angeles. That woman was James Ellroy's mother. In MY DARK PLACES, Ellroy reveals the tragic origin of his fascination with crime, the prime mover in a life marked by professional triumph and personal loss. It is equally a search for truths -- for the true identity of his mother's killer, for the writer's real feelings toward his upbringing and self-destructive youth. Written with the taut prose that is James Ellroy's trademark, My Dark Places is a dazzling detective story in its own right, a detour from the fictional mean streets and into the recesses of the psyche. "A tough and admirable memoir. . . . A portrait that is at once brave, sad and funny." (Los Angeles Times) Recommendations Customers who ordered this book also ordered: 1.
