Maybe they thought that Ellroy's star is fading out in America? I mean, hasn't it been? Considering the judgments here on R-A, "American Tabloid" was not so widely accepted and heavily criticized. Maybe the publisher thought that it would make good to get the book out in Europe first, where Ellroy is still being liked.

If I'm wrong, shoo.. no, just tell I'm wrong.
