Confidential) as he discusses LA's most famous unsolved case, the 1947 murder of Elizabeth Short a.k.a. The Black Dahlia. (ChrisClogston)  Helen Knode discusses and signs Wildcat Play In Wildcat play's prequel, The Ticket Out, hipster movie critic Ann Whitehead pushed a Hollywood murder case to a bloody climax and almost died herself. Changed forever by the experience, she has moved on to a place she knows well: the San Joaquin Valley, where her grandfather's closest friend, Joe Balch, owns the oil company that keeps one town alive. Balch gets Ann a job with the Oklahoma contractor drilling his wildcat well. It's hard work, but Ann loves both it and her crusty old boss, Emmet. Then a guy on her crew is killed by a falling hammer. Sheriffs rule it an accident but Ann's LAPD squeeze, Detective Doug Lockwood, says it is murder. Ann can't resist the challenge of chasing a killer—but then the killer starts chasing her.
Helen Knode will be joined by mystery great James Ellroy to discuss Wildcat play and Ellroy’s book, The Hilliker Curse.

Castro James Ellroy discusses Blood's a Rover. Author, James Ellroy, will be visiting us to read from his latest book, “Blood’s a Rover.” Summer, 1968. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy are dead. The assassination conspiracies have begun to unravel. A dirty-tricks squad is getting ready to deploy at the Democratic Convention in Chicago. Black militants are warring in Southside L.A. The Feds are concocting draconian countermeasures. And fate has placed three men at the vortex of History. Dwight Holly is J. Edgar Hoover's pet strong-arm goon, implementing Hoover's racist designs and obsessed with a leftist shadow figure named Joan Rosen Klein. Wayne Tedrow--ex-cop and heroin runner--is building a mob gambling mecca in the Dominican Republic and quickly becoming radicalized. Don Crutchfield is a window-peeping kid private eye within tantalizing reach of right-wing assassins, left-wing revolutionaries and the power mongers of an incendiary era. Their lives collide in pursuit of the Red Goddess Joan--and each of them will pay "a dear and savage price to live History." Political noir as only James Ellroy can write it--our recent past razed and fully reconstructed--"Blood's A Rover "is a novel of astonishing depth and scope, a massive tale of corruption and retribution, of ideals at war and the extremity of love. It is the largest and greatest work of fiction from an American master. About the Author: James Ellroy was born in Los Angeles in 1948. His L.A. quartet -- The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, L.A.
