Synopsis

In disgrace after a badly handled arrest in New Orleans, Sergeant Lloyd Hopkins is assigned as a liaison officer to an FBI investigation into a series of diabolical and clever bank robberies. Three men have done their homework: they choose bank managers who are having affairs, kidnap their girlfriends, and force the managers to open the banks early. When the bank robbers turn violent, Hopkins finds himself with a bit of information he would rather not have—information about police corruption that reaches into the office of his sworn enemy Fred Gaffney, head of the Internal Affairs Division.

Παρότι δεν έχει το ίδιο βάθος με κάποια από το Κουαρτέτο του Λος Άντζελες απόψει πρόζας και συνολικής ιστορικής σημασίας, το τελευταίο βιβλίο της τριλογίας του εμμονικού μπάτσου Λόιντ Χόπκινς είναι ένα εξαιρετικά γραμμένο βιβλίο που δείχνει σε όλους πως ένας από τους μεγαλύτερους γραφιάδες της νουάρ......more

Goodreads review by Kevidently

As a guy who likes crime fiction and mysteries, I've heard a lot about James Ellroy. On paper, it feels like I should love James Ellroy.
