Book Overview: The second volume of the James Ellroy's uncollected writings- true crime, sex, scandal and a sizzling new novella.

Media Reviews
No manuscript was available for the latest collection of Ellroy's uncollected works. Everything's here you would expect from the man whose last book, The Cold Six Thousand, was described as a 'remarkable accomplishment'; sex, violence, true crime, scandal and a new novella called Hollywood Fuck Pad. However, Destination Morgue features a whole lot more than Ellroy's usual fare - pictures from low- rent paparazzi, including 'stretch marks revealed', 'gaping flies outside whorehouses' and 'toilet-stall assignations'. Expect darkness, depth, intensity and lots of comment from an author generally and critically acknowledged as one of America's greatest living crime writers, a claim backed by impressive sales figures for American Tabloid - 40,000 in hardback (a fivefold increase) and 75,000 in paperback. If you're not familiar with Ellroy, that's an omission you should remedy.
