Ellroy actually this is beautiful, this is a complex Lloyd Hopkins detective, constantly harassed by his ghosts, he chases the poet who comes dangerously close to his family. I have had trouble spending the first part of the book, and then from there, I have not been able to sleep without completing this excellent thriller. A reference to gender and flat that I liked is that this first chapter of the trilogy is by far the best and most successful. The great, great Ellroy Sure to Read.
