Title: Because the Night
Author: James Ellroy

Publisher's Summary:
Three citizens are butchered during a liquor store holdup. An unstable veteran cop vanishes without a trace. Nothing connects these events except for a nagging hunch in the back of Detective Sergeant Lloyd Hopkins' brain--a sinister foreboding that will lead him through the sin-and-sleaze playground of nighttime L.A. on the trail of a psycho psychiatrist with a talent for terror and mind-control. His gore-soaked journey through Hell will plunge this determined manhunter into the dark heart of madness--and beyond.
Members Reviews:
Style Problems Have Been Resolved, Better LAPD Noir than the Prequel
I am surprised at the reviewer that could not understand why a villain would want to collect data. The book is set in 1984. What happens in 1984? Big Brother tries to infiltrate our minds. Who is best when it comes to infiltrating our minds, stealing our private thoughts and reprogramming them? A psychiatrist, of course.
The style of Because the Night feels very mature. I was never tempted to pick up a red editing pencil, not once. The characterizations were better, too, and Ellroy achieves a much better noir effect than he did in Blood on the Moon. No one is innocent in this book. Ellroy has ALMOST achieved the LAPD that we love to hate from Black Dahlia.
early Ellroy...improvement over first book.
Blood on the moon was a decent effort from a novice novelist. Because the night is a big improvement on many levels. The plot is tighter, the psychological motivations are compelling and it never drags.
BECAUSE THE NIGHT
RIP ELLROY.....YOUR WRITINGS WILL BE MISSED. ALL PAST READING MOST ENJOYABLE.
So Dark I Hesitate To Finish The Trilogy
If I considered Book #1 dark, Because The Night takes the reader a quantum step beyond!
But then that's James Ellroy through and through. His world is peopled with bent cops, drunks, dopers, petty criminals, whores, twisted psychopaths with an utter conviction in their own brilliance... and, of course, a protagonist continually dealing with demons of his own.
One of His Best
Part of the trilogy books of legendary detective Lloyd Hopkins, James Ellroy again demonstrates why he is the preeminent writer in this genre. Admittedly biased since I have read and collected all of his works, Because of the Night builds and defines a character so flawed and driven, and tortured by his greatness of his analytical gift. Like the rest of Ellroy's books, you won't be able to put it down.
