The title of my latest book was inspired by "Perfidia" [by Alberto Domínguez ]. I first heard the Ventures' instrumental version of "Perfidia" in 1961. When my old man heard me listening to it, he said I should listen to Glenn Miller's hit from '41. I did, and it knocked me out. It's still my favorite.

...if Ellroy's bitter visions entice you, Perfidia will take you once again to the underbelly of American history, seen through a glass darkly, as Ashida says: "All these covenants and agendas. They supersede human logic."Ìý
