3:00 Radio Drama: My Dark Places

In 1958 James Ellroy's mother was found brutally murdered in Los Angeles. Ellroy was 10 at the time . . . and glad she was dead. The killer was never found. Then, in 1994, aged 46 and a successful crime writer, Ellroy decided to reinvestigate the murder and try and find the killer himself. He wrote about the resulting journey of discovery in his book - My Dark Places - which has been adapted to the Radio Drama we are featuring today.
