Killer on the Road

James Ellroy: Killer on the Road (USA 2002)

From the Publisher:
James Ellroy travels dark and dangerous highways, leading us to places where the vilest aspects of human nature are nourished; where the fragile boundaries between the amoral and the ethical break down, allowing evil to spill into - and contaminate - the good. With his masterful novels of crime and criminals working both sides of the legal system - including LA Confidential, Clandestine, The Black Dahlia, White Jazz, and American Tabloid - Ellroy has established himself as an unparalleled literary artist and an expert on the night side of the soul.

Martin Michael Plunkett is a product of his times -- the possessor of a genius intellect, a pitiless soul of brushed steel, and a heart of blackest evil. With criminal tendencies forged in the fires of L.A.'s Charles Manson hysteria, he comes to the bay city of San Francisco -- and submits to savage and terrible impulses that reveal to him his true vocation as a pure and perfect murderer. And so begins his decade of discovery and terror, as he cuts a bloody swath across the full length of a land, ingeniously exploiting and feeding upon a society's obsessions. As he maneuvers deftly through a seamy world of drugs, flesh, and perversions, the media will call him many things -- but Martin Plunkett's real name is Death. His brilliant, twisted mind is a horriying place to explore. His madness reflects a nation's own. The killer is on the road. And there's nowhere in America to hide.

James Ellroy: Killer on the Road. Avon Twilight, ISBN: 038080896X (October, 2002), 266 p., $12.50.

From the Publisher:
1953-1983: 30 years of American society, from the hope of Eisenhower's presidency, to the kinky flower generation, through the death of the dream, Charles Manson, the beginning of the twisted nightmare and the moral backlash of the 80s. One Man's crimes span these years and the length and breadth of America. Martin Michael Plunkett - of genius level intelligence, articulate, ruthless, yet deranged sex killer. And beneath his calm veneer, rage voices implanted in his mind in one of the defing and deeply buried moment of his life, a moment so shocking that it takes him thirty years to bring it back into his consciousness. Sentenced to life in Sing Sing prison, Plunkett begins his autobio-graphical memoir, an account of more than fifty killing that made him America's most wanted serial killer and its greatest enigma. His account will drive even those who brought him to justice to despair.

Silent Terror

James Ellroy: Silent Terror (USA 1986)

From the Publisher:
HIS ONLY PLEASURE IS TO KILL... AND KILL AGAIN
Enter the horrifying world of a killer whose bloody trail of carnage baffles police from coast to coast. There appears to be no motive... because Martin Plunkett kills just for pleasure. Martin lives in a world of his own twisted fantasies, tormented by dreams too terrible to endure. Until he discovers the blessed relief that comes from the sight, the taste, and the feel of fresh warm blood...

But Martin's quest for relief from the pain of his obsession is unquenchable. From secluded love nests in LA, to the snow-covered slopes of Aspen, to the lonely deserts of Utah, he follows his lust for blood, finding lone drivers or young lovers -- leaving their dismembered bodies in grotesque positions of his own design. His next victim can be anyone... anywhere.
