About This Item
US: Avon Books, 1986. First Edition. Paperback. Good. Martin Michael Plunkett is a product of his times -- the possessor of a gen ius intellect, a pitiless soul of brushed steel, and a heart of blackest ev il. With criminal tendencies forged in the fires of L.A.'s Charles Manson h ysteria, he comes to the bay city of San Francisco -- and submits to savage and terrible impulses that reveal to him his true vocation as a pure and p erfect murderer. And so begins his decade of discovery and terror, as he cu ts a bloody swath across the full length of a land, ingeniously exploiting and feeding upon a society's obsessions. As he maneuvers deftly through a s eamy world of drugs, flesh, and perversions, the media will call him many t hings -- but Martin Plunkett's real name is Death. His brilliant, twisted m ind is a horriying place to explore. His madness reflects a nation's own. T he killer is on the road. And there's nowhere in America to hide.
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.
