A second look at the life of Lloyd Hopkins, LAPD officer. This book s picks up shortly after the end of "Blood on the Moon" and is a much better offering. Ellroy is starting to come into his own as a writer and his vision of the darker side of Los Angeles in the 80's is spot on. A good summer read and good training to tackle "L.A. Confidential".

The best of the trilogy with a fascinating bad guy.

I have to agree that this book will provide training for Ellroy's better books. You get sucked in very easily, but Ellroy's herky jerky style makes it hard to find the rhythm in "Because of the Night."
