Blood's A Rover Press Materials

Blood’s A Rover by James Ellroy

978-0-679-40393-7

The Demon Dog of American literature is back with the thrilling conclusion to his Underworld U.S.A. trilogy. This is political noir as only James Ellroy can write it—our recent past razed and fully reconstructed—a novel of astonishing depth and scope, a massive tale of corruption and retribution, of the clash of ideals and the extremity of love. Blood’s A Rover is the largest and greatest work of fiction from an American master.
