Freddy O.`s got a hot date with history. The savage Sixties are ready to pop. The Rolling Stones proclaim it best: We`re just a shout away. The Enchanters is a transcendent work of American popular fiction. It is James Ellroy at his most crazed, brilliant, provocative, profanely hilarious, and stop-your-heart tender. It is a luminous psychological drama. It is an unparalleled thrill ride. It is resoundingly the great American crime novel.`This entire book is one gleefully violent foul-mouthed research note. It`s vivid, gripping, surreal` Spectator
