About This Item
Paperback / softback. New. <p>'Nobody does crime like James Ellroy . . . One of Ellroy's best works in years' <b><i>Sunday Times</i></b><br /><br />'This is the master of darkness at his incomparable best â simply impossible to put down'<i> <b>Daily Mail</b></i><br /><br />Los Angeles. August 4, 1962. The city broils through a mid-summer heat wave. Marilyn Monroe ODs. A B-movie starlet is kidnapped. The overhyped LAPD overreacts. Chief Bill Parker's looking for some getback. The Monroe deal looks like a moneymaker. He calls in Freddy Otash.<br /><br />The freewheeling Freddy O. Tainted ex-cop, defrocked private eye, dope fiend, and freelance extortionist. A man who lives by the maxim "Opportunity is Love." Freddy gets to work. He dimly perceives Marilyn Monroe's death and the kidnapped starlet to be a poisonous riddle that only he has the guts and the brains to untangle. We are with him as he tears through all those who block his path to the truth. We are with him as he penetrates the <i>faux</i>-sunshine of Jack and Bobby Kennedy and the shuck of Camelot. We are with him as he falters, and grasps for love beyond opportunity. We are with him as he tracks Marilyn Monroe's horrific last charade through a nightmare L.A. that <i>he</i> served to create - and as he confronts his complicity and his own raging madness.<br /><br />It's the Summer of '62, baby. Freddy O.'s got a hot date with history. The savage Sixties are ready to pop. The Rolling Stones proclaim it best: <i>We're just a shout away. </i><br /><br /><i>The Enchanters </i>is a transcendent work of American popular fiction. It is James Ellroy at his most crazed, brilliant, provocative, profanely hilarious, and stop-your-heart tender. It is a luminous psychological drama. It is an unparalleled thrill ride. It is resoundingly the great American crime novel.<br /><br />'This entire book is one gleefully violent foul-mouthed research note. Itâs vivid, gripping, surreal' <b><i>Spectator</i></b></p>
