PRESS RELEASE ISSUED JANUARY 2001:

OUT-OF-PRINT TITLE BY JAMES ELLROY

TO BE PUBLISHED AS EBOOK BY IPUBLISH.COM

New York City, Jan. 11, 2001 — iPublish.com at Time Warner Books announced today that it will publish the out-of-print BLOOD ON THE MOON, one of James Ellroy's early works, as an eBook on January 15th.

Having long boasted a cult following, Ellroy has enjoyed increased popularity since the acclaimed 1997 film version of his novel L.A. Confidential. But while L.A. Confidential and the rest of his L.A. Quartet explored the seamy side of Los Angeles and Hollywood in its heyday, BLOOD ON THE MOON takes readers on a gripping journey into the modern-day City of Angels with anti-hero cop Detective Sergeant Lloyd Hopkins.

The first volume of Ellroy's L.A. Noir trilogy, BLOOD ON THE MOON follows Hopkins as he attempts to find a pattern in twenty random killings that remain unconnected in police files. Hopkins' research leads him to monstrous serial killer Teddy Verplanck.

BLOOD ON THE MOON is also available with the three novels that made up L.A. Noir as part of one eBook volume at a special eBook price of $14.95.
