My Dark Places (book)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My Dark Places is a nonfiction book, part investigative journalism and part autobiography, by James Ellroy, in which he attempts to solve the mystery of his mother's murder by hiring a retired Los Angeles County homicide detective to investigate the crime. Ellroy also explores how being directly affected by a crime shaped his life - often for the worse - and led him to write crime novels.

Published by Knopf in 1996, Ellroy autographed stacks of blank pages to be bound into every copy of the first edition.
