The film rights to James Ellroy's novel Blood's a Rover have been optioned for film.
"My most recent novel is — not surprisingly — also my best," said Ellroy. "The story is no less than the psychic inventory of America from 1968 to 1972. I have no doubt that [producers] Clark Peterson and Vincent Sieber will fashion a splendid motion picture from this noir epic."
Blood's a Rover is the third and final book in the so-called "Underworld USA" trilogy by the author, each featuring triple narration, three characters, which have their own point-of-view in the story. The first two books in the trilogy are American Tabloid (1995) and The Cold Six Thousand (2001).

Blood's a Rover
James Ellroy
Underworld USA Trilogy (3rd in series)
Martin Luther King assassinated. Robert Kennedy assassinated. Los Angeles, 1968. Conspiracies theories are taking hold.
On the horizon looms the Democratic Convention in Chicago and constant gun fire peppers south L.A. Violence, greed, and grime, are replacing free-love and everybody from Howard Hughes, Richard Nixon and J. Edgar Hoover to the right-wing assassins and left-wing revolutionaries are getting dirty. At the center of it all is a triumvirate: the president’s strong-arm goon, an ex-cop and heroine runner, and a private eye whose quarry is so dangerous she could set off the whole powder keg.
