I found this book to be a little to pompous and self-important. James Ellroy is very proud of his intelligence and wants us all to know who smart he is. It was a compelling, dark story, with a good idea for a plot. I just couldn't get over the author's tone. I am not eager to read more James Ellroy.

The Lloyd Hopkins series was all right, but it paved the way for Ellroy's LA quartet, so that’s a great thing. If you haven't read Ellroy yet, though, I'd start with the Black Dahlia instead of one of these earlier ones.

Tightly drawn characters battling for some crude sense of justice and sanity in a world where the world turns a deaf ear to depravity as long as it's on the side of the Law.
