520 "Los Angeles. August 4, 1962. The city broils through a
mid-summer heat wave. Marilyn Monroe ODs. A B-movie
starlet is kidnapped. The overhyped LAPD overreacts. Chief
Bill Parker's looking for some getback. The Monroe deal
looks like a moneymaker. He calls in Freddy Otash. The
freewheeling Freddy O. Tainted ex-cop, defrocked private
eye, dope fiend, and freelance extortionist. A man who
lives by the maxim "Opportunity is Love." Freddy gets to
work. He dimly perceives Marilyn Monroe's death and the
kidnapped starlet to be a poisonous riddle that only he
has the guts and the brains to untangle. We are with him
as he tears through all those who block his path to the
truth. We are with him as he penetrates the faux-sunshine
of Jack and Bobby Kennedy and the shuck of Camelot. We are
with him as he falters, and grasps for love beyond
opportunity. We are with him as he tracks Marilyn Monroe's
horrific last charade through a nightmare L.A. that he
served to create - and as he confronts his complicity and
his own raging madness. It's the Summer of '62, baby. The
savage Sixties are ready to pop. The Rolling Stones
proclaim it best: We're just a shout away. The Enchanters
is a transcendent work of American popular fiction. It is
James Ellroy at his most crazed, brilliant, provocative,
profanely hilarious, and stop-your-heart tender. It is a
luminous psychological drama and an unparalleled thrill
ride"--|cProvided by publisher.
