“Wacky and I had been partners for three months when Night Train entered our lives.”
Lee Earle "James" Ellroy is an American crime fiction writer and essayist.

Confidential* (1990), *White Jazz* (1992), *American Tabloid* (1995), *The Cold Six Thousand* (2001), and *Blood's a Rover* (2009). *-- Wikipedia*
