Because the night

Because the night/James Ellroy 288 pg.

This is a crime thriller that features a psychiatrist who preys on his patients to make them do his bidding and the genius but unconventional cop who takes him down. It was written in the 80's and seems to contain a lot more bad stereotypes than things I've read with more recent copyright dates. Ellroy is good with the "hard boiled" characters but some of the dialog just about made me laugh. Still, a good story overall. - Christa
