$9.90
Blood's a Rover
Blood's a Rover

Crime saga finale, an epic American secret history.

If you've been hooked by the intricate web of characters and plots in the first two installments of Ellroy's Underworld USA Trilogy, "Blood's A Rover" will not disappoint. Its rich tapestry of 1960s political conspiracies and riveting crime narratives should captivate any fan of dense historical thrillers. As a conclusion to the gritty exploration of the country's underbelly during one of its most turbulent times, it can be an essential read for closure.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The internationally acclaimed author of the L.A. Quartet and The Underworld USA Trilogy, James Ellroy, presents another literary noir masterpiece of historical paranoia. A rip-roaring, devilishly wild ride through the bloody end of the 1960s. It's dark baby, and hot hot hot. Martin Luther King assassinated. Robert Kennedy assassinated. Los Angeles, 1968. Conspiracy theories are taking hold. On the horizon looms the Democratic Convention in Chicago and constant gunfire 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 the president’s strong-arm goon, an ex-cop and heroin 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.
