This excellent collection of short stories allow any amateur detective novels Ellroy wait before the release of the third part of the trilogy "Underworld USA". Most new echo "My Dark" biographical work, and one wonders when Ellroy exhausted this seam. The reader understands the obsession of the author, but it is perhaps more much to say about it and tends to repeat itself a little. The style remains in any explosive event. The new novel "A baisodrome in Hollywood" is frankly excellent and worthy of the best novels of the master. Honors for the translator, John Paul Gratias. Roll on next novel!
