The Hilliker Curse is a predator´s confession, a teatrise on guilt and on the power of malediction, and above all, a cri de coeur. James Ellroy 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.
