Marvelous fury, passion and energy.” —\u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eThe year was 1958. Jean Hilliker had divorced her hustler husband and resurrected her maiden name. Her son, James, was ten years old. In a dark moment, he “summoned her dead.” Three months later she was murdered. The curse was evoked, and James Ellroy began his unending pursuit of women. Here, he unsparingly describes his shattered childhood, his delinquent teens, his writing life, his love affairs and marriages, his nervous breakdown, and the beginning of a relationship with an extraordinary woman who may just be the long-sought Her. A startling revelation, a treatise on guilt and the power of malediction, and above all, a heartfelt confession, \u003ci\u003eThe Hilliker Curse\u003c\/i\u003e is a brilliant, soul-baring revelation of self.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eJAMES ELLROY was born in Los Angeles in 1948.
