Ellroy on wheels

My friends at the 1947project have announced that demon dog James "I will never again publicly discuss the Black Dahlia murder or my mother's death" Ellroy will be hosting a bus tour on Dec. 22.

For a mere $60 you can hear my old pal James not discuss his mother's murder as the bus visits Arroyo High School in El Monte and other sites in L.A.

Woof, Daddy-o.

(At right, as sold on EBay: "Black Dahlia Avenger" autographed by Steve Hodel and inscribed to James Ellroy, who provided the introduction to the book, endorsing Hodel's contention that his father killed Elizabeth Short).
