Ellroy Reads – The Ticket Out by Helen Knode

I got the urge to film an Ellroy Reads about an hour ago, and this episode was shot in the fading evening sun. The book for this week is Helen Knode’s stunning debut novel The Ticket Out, a Hollywood mystery with a difference. I talk a little about Helen’s background, her relationship with Ellroy and my friendship with the two of them.

This episode also features some Hollywood gossip I had some difficulty getting past the lawyers. Enjoy!
