Description
Love Me Fierce In Danger: The Life of James Ellroy
This gripping biography uncovers the turbulent life and career of James Ellroy, one of America's most provocative and singular crime fiction writers. Born into a troubled world, Ellroy's early life was marked by trauma and loss, including the brutal murder of his mother when he was just ten years old.
Steven Powell's masterful biography reveals how these experiences shaped Ellroy's writing, as well as the darker influences of his upbringing in LA. Drawing on new sources and extensive conversations with those close to Ellroy, this book pulls back the curtain on a complex figure who has courted both acclaim and controversy throughout his career.
