James Ellroy, the self proclaimed Demon Dog of American Literature, has produced a masterpiece in the third book in his L. A. Quartet. L. A. Confidential is a great example of this genre of literature.

Cologne. He was baptized on December 17, 1770. He had two younger brother, Caspar and Joann. His mother was Maria Magdalena van Beethoven and his father was Johann van Beethoven.

I also read that even though his family did
