Ellroy, James Because the Night
Avon 1987 0-380-70063-8 / 9780380700639 Paperback Very Good+
A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Originally published in 1984, the second volume in James Ellroy's trilogy o f novels featuring the brilliant and outspoken LAPD Detective Sergeant Lloy d Hopkins is a noir classic. In Because the Night, Hopkins matches wits wit h a criminal mastermind in a bloody battle that will push the already unsta ble investigator "beyond the beyond." Those who know Doctor John "The Night Tripper" Havilland see him as a self-made spiritual guru, a maverick psychologist who caters to those at the extremes of Southern California society -- from the disaffected rich to the impoverished poor. But when Hopkins, investigating a botched liquor store robbery that left three dead, runs across Havilland in his inquiries, he too gets pulled into the doctor's evil plans. A master of manipulation and mind control, Havilland quickly finds Hopkins's weakness: beautiful women in need of protection. With the help of drop-dead-gorgeous prostitute in his thrall, the deranged doctor draws Hopkins into a winner-take-all match of wits that includes missing cops, brainwashed killers -- and lots of dead people.

Ellroy, James Black Dahlia
Haynes Publications January 3, 1998 0-09-936651-7 / 9780099366515 Paperback Near Fine
A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Using the basic facts concerning the 1940s' notorious and yet unsolved Black Dahlia case, Ellroy creates a kaleidoscope of human passion and dark obsession. A young woman's mutilated body is found in a Los Angeles vacant lot. The story is seen through the eyes of Bucky Bleichert, ex-prize fighter and something of a boy wonder on the police force. There is no relief or humor as Bleichert arrives at a grisly discovery. Ellroy's powerful rendering of the long-reaching effects of murder gives the case new meaning.

Ellroy, James Brown's Requiem
Avon Books November 1988 0-380-78741-5 / 9780380787418 Paperback Very Good
A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Before he began to remap the geography of the crime novel and venture out into the darkest noir night of them all with L.A. Confidential, The Black Dahlia, White Jazz, and American Tabloid, James Ellroy started his career with this powerful but basically straightforward book about Los Angeles private eye Fritz Brown. At first glance, the story of an investigation into a crooked golf tournament that opens up to include arson and murder could be just another work by any one of the dozens of good writers who have used Southern California as a metaphor for the decline and fall of civilization. But behind the terse prose, astute readers will soon begin to hear something else--the increasingly loud clamor of a cry of pain that will eventually become the barely manageable madness of Ellroy's later books.

Ellroy, James My Dark Places
Arrow Books Ltd June 5, 1997 0-09-954961-1 / 9780099549611 Paperback Very Good
James Ellroy's trademark is his language: it is sometimes caustically funny and always brazen. When he's hitting on all cylinders, as he is in My Dar k Places, his style makes punchy rhythms out of short sentences using lingo such as "scoot" (dollar), "trim" (sex), and "brace" (to interrogate). But the premise for My Dark Places is what makes it especially compelling: Ellr oy goes back to his own childhood to investigate the central mystery behind his obsession with violence against women--the death of his mother when he was 10 years old. It's hard to imagine a more psychologically treacherous, more self-exposing way in which to write about true crime. The New York Ti mes calls it a "strenuously involving book.... Early on, Mr. Ellroy makes a promise to his dead mother that seems maudlin at first: 'I want to give yo u breath.' But he's done just that and--on occasion--taken ours away."
