After the divorce of his parents he lived with his mother. In 1958 she was killed, the murder remained unsolved. This unsolved murder and his father's documentary on police work, The Police Badge, influenced Ellroy's future writing career.

In his youth, Ellroy abused alcohol, committed several petty crimes, and wandered. After a short stay in prison and the onset of health problems (he contracted pneumonia), Ellroy decided to change his life. He stopped drinking, found a job at a golf club, and started writing books at the same time.

In 1981, his debut detective novel was released. Ellroy glorified the Los Angeles Quartet cycle. The first novel of the cycle, The Black Orchid, was based on the real murder of the young actress Elizabeth Short, which Ellroy had read about in the Police Badge. For his novels, the writer was nicknamed "The Demon Dog of the American Detective."
