James Ellroy is regarded as one of the world's greatest crime writers. His work rejuvenated and re-imagined crime fiction and noir, casting it in a new stripped down and viscerally real mould.

Susan Cahill takes a journey through the life and work of James Ellroy, the self-styled 'Demon Dog of Crime Fiction', with authors, academics, and friends of Ellory.
