Critics Review
Epic mashups of historical fact and filthy fantasy … no one does it better than Ellroy * The Times, ‘Best new crime fiction for September 2023’ *This entire book is one gleefully violent foul-mouthed research note. It’s vivid, gripping, surreal * Spectator *No one captures the nightmare that lies behind the American dream better than the unforgettable Ellroy … This is the master of darkness at his incomparable best — simply impossible to put down * Daily Mail *Nobody does crime like James Ellroy … One of Ellroy’s best works in years – Dan Jones * Sunday Times *One of the great American writers of our time * Los Angeles Times *Ask me to name the best living novelist who’s fierce, brave, funny, scatological, beautiful, convoluted, and paranoid … and it becomes simple: James Ellroy. If insanity illuminated by highly dangerous strokes of literary lightning is your thing, then Ellroy is your man – Stephen KingJames Ellroy is the American Dostoyevsky – Joyce Carol OatesTruly invigorating … demonically riveting – Jake Kerridge * Telegraph *Highly entertaining * Irish Independent *Electrifying * Buzz Magazine *
