An obsessive, insubordinate homicide cop is convinced a serial killer is loose in the Hollywood area and disobeys orders in order to catchhim.
AMERICAN TABLOID
Where the right drugs, the right amount of cash, the right murder, buys a moment of a man’s loyalty.

DEAR READERS, ELLROY FANS, AND SEDITIOUS SUSTAINERS OF THE AMERICANLITERARY TRADITION:
This is James Ellroy—the Demon Dog of American Literature himself—baying at you from his posh pad at an undisclosed location in the American West/Near Midwest. As you may know, I’m digitally illiterate, so you’ve got to gas on the fact that I’m breaking _baaaaaaaaad_ from tradition, in order to post this announcement. Why mince words, kats? June 4, 2019 announces my confounding canonization in the hellaciously hallowed halls of the Great American Novelist Brigade!!!!! That’s the priapic prelude, and here’s the wickedwind-up and pitch:
My new novel will be published in the U.S. and Great Britain that day. The title is _This Storm_. It’s the second volume of my _Second L.A. Quartet_. The first volume, _Perfidia_, was a mash-your-soul massive novel of L.A. in the month of December, 1941—the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. _This Storm_ picks up my noxious narrative of wartime L.A. on New Year’s Eve—’41 into ’42. _Baaaaaaaaad_ juju is jumping in my smog-smacked fatherland—and YOU will have a fractiously fragged front-row seat!!!!! _This Storm_ is chock-full of my trippingly trenchant crime shit, political shit, racial shit, cop shit, sex shit, and passionate men and women in love shit!!! It’s gonna bite the boogaloos of worldwide readers, en masse!!!!! And, that’s just half of the staggering story!!!!! I’ve been inducted into the prongingly prestigious Everyman’s Library. I’m now in the achingly august company of hotshots like Albert Camus, John Updike, Chinua Achebe, Katherine Mansfield, Saul Bellow, Joseph Heller, and the kooly contemporary Joan Didion and Salman Rushdie—kats who, of kourse, I’ve never read. _The L.A. Quartet_—_The Black Dahlia_, _The Big Nowhere_, _L.A. Confidential_, and _White Jazz_—komprise one fabulously fat volume. _The Underworld U.S.A. Trilogy_—_American Tabloid_, _The Cold Six Thousand_, and _Blood’s A Rover_—comprise two fabulously fat volumes. Check out the foto spray that accompanies this insidious internet posting. These books look great and _are_ great. They are be-bop beacons beckoning you to licentiously live lurid licks of 20th Century American History. June 4, 2019. Save the date. Jolting juju will be jumping your way. The Demon Dog will be putting his pustulent pawprint on yet more kalamitous kommuniques. Stay stirringly tuned to this website forfurther updates.
