Synopsis
Det. Sgt. Lloyd Hopkins is the most brilliant homicide detective in the Los Angeles Police Department. A thinking cop in a brutal world, his obsession with hunting down monsters is more than an occupational hazard--it's become a lifestyle. In three explosive cases, he will venture into the heart of evil . . . while trying to reclaim his own soul.Blood on the Moon: Twenty random killings of women remain unconnected in police files. But Det. Sgt. Lloyd Hopkins sees a pattern. In a shattering climax, cold, icy intelligence and white-heated madness are pitted against each other. . . .Because the Night: Jacob Herzog, hero cop, has disappeared. A multiple murder committed with a pre-Civil War revolver remains unsolved. Are the two cases linked? As Det. Sgt. Lloyd Hopkins pieces the puzzle together, he uncovers a startling trail of arcane secrets and madness--all leading to one psychotic mastermind.Suicide Hill: Duane Rice kidnaps a bank manager's girlfriend and an orgy of violence erupts. Leading the manhunt, Det. Sgt. Lloyd Hopkins stumbles on a horrifying conspiracy of corruption and betrayal--among his own colleagues . . . Packed with taut suspense, compelling action, and riveting psychological portraits, these early novels reveal James Ellroy at his best--stark, uncompromised, and exquisite.
