DESTINO: LA MORGUE (Spanish Edition)

Un recorrido, de la mano de James Ellroy, por los bajos fondos de la sociedad estadounidense de los años cinquenta, sesenta y setenta, en el que nos reencontramos con algunos de los personajes de su celebre Trilogia Americana politicos corruptos, inmigrantes boxeadores, adolescentes frustrados, etc. y asistimos a episodios autobiograficos de cuando el escritor vivia sumergido en el mundo del crimen. La cara menos amable de Estados Unidos. / The Demon Dog gets down with a new book of scenes from Americas capital of kink: Los Angeles. Fourteen pieces, some fiction, some nonfiction, all true enough to be admissible as states 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 Hollywoods 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. Heres Ellroy himself, shining a 500-watt Mag light into all the dark places of his life and imagination. Destination: Morgue! puts the readers attention in a hammerlock and refuses to let go.
