Destination: Morgue!: L.A. Tales

Dig. The Demon Dog gets down with a new book of scenes from America’s capital of
kink: Los Angeles. Fourteen pieces, some fiction, some nonfiction, all true enough
to be admissible as state’s evidence, and half of it in print for the first time.
And every one of them bearing the James Ellroy brand of mayhem, machismo, and hollow-nose
prose.

Here are Mexican featherweights and unsolved-murder vics, crooked cops
and a very clean D.A. Here is a profile of Hollywood’s latest celebrity perp-walker,
Robert Blake, and three new novellas featuring a demented detective with an obsession
with a Hollywood actress. And, oh yes, just maybe the last appearance of Hush-Hush sleaze-monger Danny Getchell. Here’s Ellroy himself, shining a 500-watt Mag light
into all the dark places of his life and imagination. Destination: Morgue! puts the
reader’s attention in a hammerlock and refuses to let go.
