Legendary Crime Novelist To Visit Andover Bookstore

ANDOVER, MA — Bestselling novelist James Ellroy will appear at Andover Bookstore next month.

Ellroy will be at the 74 Main St. bookstore June 23 at 4 p.m. for the launch of his new novel, "Red Sheet."

Ellroy's books include "L.A. Confidential," "The Black Dahlia," and many others.

Joyce Carol Oates called Ellroy “the American Dostoevsky” of crime writing. His books "are masterclasses in modern crime writing, making him not only one of the finest hardboiled writers of his generation, but one of the great literary chroniclers of Los Angeles," according to the bookstore.

His latest novel, "Red Sheet," is a Cold War story that follows an investigating officer of a communist probe in 1962. You can pre-purchase a copy of the book through Andover Bookstore.
