Detective Sergeant Lloyd Hopkins is the most brilliant homicide detective in the Los Angeles Police Department and one of its most troubled.

Estranged from his wife and daughters and on the verge of being drummed out of the department for his transgressions, Hopkins is assigned to investigate a series of bloody bank robberies. As the violence escalates and the case becomes ever more vicious, Hopkins will be forced to cross the line once again to stop a maniac on a murder binge.

“This book was decent for most writers, but mediocre for Ellroy. It was, however, interesting to see him becoming - you can almost see the man that would eventually come to write LA Confidential in these pages, see some of the themes that would become the subjects of all of his work touched upon.
I do think this one got tied up in too neat a bow. Perhaps that was what his publisher wanted, perhaps it was what Ellroy thought his readers wanted. Either way, the tidy red bow on the bloody trilogy does a disservice. I'm glad he grew out of that.”
