Review

Amazon Best of the Month, September 2009: James Ellroy''s L.A. Quartet novels chronicled a cynic''s take on Los Angeles cops and robbers, carving a dark and creepy nook for the author in the world of crime fiction. With Blood''s a Rover, Ellroy completes his Underworld USA trilogy, an epic reinvention of American history, politics, and corruption. This book comes out firing: Ellroy''s hipster prose--inimitable for its high style and spectacular energy--snaps and surges through more than 600 pages like black electricity, shocking the gentle reader from page one. Opening with a heist scene rendered as coldly violent as anything from Sam Peckinpah''s most sociopathic fantasies, the story hurls itself across an improbable crazy quilt plot, including Howard Hughes''s Vegas power-play, political abuses and machinations in Hoover''s FBI, and the mob''s ubiquitous shadow, darkening everything from JFK''s assassination to Nixon''s 1968 Presidential campaign. Another audacious effort from a one-of-a-kind talent, Blood''s a Rover is thrilling and exhausting, a gloriously guilty pleasure. --Jon Foro

Short Desription

America''s master of noir delivers his masterpiece, a rip-roaring, devilishly wild ride through the bloody end of the 1960''s. It''s dark baby, and hot hot hot.
 
Martin Luther King assassinated. Robert Kennedy assassinated. Los Angeles, 1968. Conspiracies theories are taking hold. On the horizon looms the Democratic Convention in Chicago and constant gun fire peppers south L.A. Violence, greed, and grime, are replacing free-love and everybody from Howard Hughes, Richard Nixon and J. Edgar Hoover to the right-wing assassins and left-wing revolutionaries are getting dirty. At the center of it all is a triumvirate: the president’s strong-arm goon, an ex-cop and heroine runner, and a private eye whose quarry is so dangerous she could set off the whole powder keg. With his trademark deadly staccato prose, James Ellroy holds nothing back in this wild, startling and much anticipated conclusion to his Underworld USA trilogy.
