Critics Review
Unputdownable
Ellroy writes as if driven by demons. His brutal, staccato graffiti tips over into art * Sunday Times *
No emotion is spared; the writing is sparse, the plotting controlled. Not for the faint of heart, this is a big, powerful crime novel and possibly the first important example of the genre in the 1990s * Sunday Telegraph *
Empty of any unessentials and full of wise-cracking wit * Mail on Sunday *
Unputdownable * Time Out *
