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.
