In 'My Dark Places', James Ellroy recounts the harrowing investigation into the murder of his mother, Geneva Hilliker, a crime that marked his life since childhood. Through a mix of noir chronicle and confessional memoirs, Ellroy unravels the mysteries surrounding his mother's life and her tragic death in Los Angeles in 1958. In 1994, after publishing the last volume of the 'L.A. Quartet', Ellroy hired a detective to uncover the truth about the crime. This book is an intimate and autobiographical exploration that provides the keys to understanding the disturbing work of this essential author of the 20th-century novel.
