About This Item
Los Angeles: Blood & Guts Press, 1987., 1987. First edition. First edition. Limited edition of 350 signed and numbered copies by the author. This is copy # 315. Additionally a full page inscription on the front fly leaf in an early hand: "To Sol + Patty - This book wants to devour your soul! James Ellroy." Fine in fine dust jacket. In a terrifying look inside the twisted mind of a serial killer, Martin Plunkett finds relief from tormenting fantasies and nightmares in a grisly trail of blood that leads from Los Angeles, to Aspen, to the Utah desert. A masterpiece of crime fiction, narrated in first person by a deviant serial killer. First published as a paperback original in 1986, the Blood & Guts Press edition is the first in hardcover, with a special introduction by mystery author Jonathan Kellerman.
Synopsis
Killer on the Road is a crime novel by James Ellroy. First published in 1986, it is a non-series book between the Lloyd Hopkins Trilogy and the L.A. Quartet. It was first released by Avon as a mass-market paperback original under the title Silent Terror. But the title intended by Ellroy is Killer on the Road, and it has been republished in the U.S. under this title—as a mass-market paperback in 1990 and as a trade paperback in 1999.
