MY DARK PLACES by James Ellroy, dramatised for radio by Steve Chambers.

In the week of the inauguration of a new President of the United States of America comes a new production of America鈥檚 most famous contemporary crime-writer, James Ellroy鈥檚, autobiography: My Dark Places. Renowned author of The Black Dahlia and LA Confidential, My Dark Places is perhaps his most surprising work. In 1958 in the City of Angels, Ellroy鈥檚 own mother, Jean, was found brutally murdered outside a local High School. Ellroy was 10 at the time. And glad she was dead. The killer was never found. Then, in 1994, aged 46 and a successful crime writer, Ellroy decided to reinvestigate the murder and try and find the killer himself, thus beginning a journey of discovery which was to have implications he could never have imagined.
