According to Deadline, adaptations of James Ellroy‘s crime novels The Big Nowhere and Blood’s a Rover are both in development.  It’s worth noting that both books are part of their own series, neither is the first book in that series.  The Big Nowhere is the second part in “The L.A. Quartet”, which spans from the mid-1940s to the late 1950s.  Blood’s a Rover is set in the 1960s-70s, and closes out the “Underworld USA Trilogy”.
