Product Description
Synopsis
He picks up women like someone picking up stones. Hunting him is a man. What happened to him once, when he was a boy, could have made him into a killer. Instead, it made Lloyd Hopkins into a cop. Both men desire to protect women from the horrors of real life, and one of them will kill to do so.

5.0 out of 5 stars OPUS THREE, 8 Feb 2003
By wdanthemanw "wdanthemanw" (Geneva, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
Third book of James Ellroy and first novel of the Lloyd Hopkins trilogy, BLOOD ON THE MOON has been published in 1984.

Adopting for the first time in his career an omniscient point of view, James Ellroy describes two destinies meant to meet for a deadly encounter. Both men have suffered a traumatic sexual experience in their teen days. Lloyd Hopkins has become the best criminal investigator of the Los Angeles Police Department and spends his life protecting "the Innocence". On the contrary, "The Poet" has developed a serial killer syndrome and murders young women, repeating indefinitely the same vengeance scheme.

Unlike Fred Underhill, the main character of CLANDESTINE, Ellroy's precedent book, Lloyd Hopkins doesn't consider his job as redemptive, he simply sees it as the most important thing in his life and will therefore lose his wife. He is a missionary to whom to be the best means to be alone, in his job and in his life.

I've liked a lot the way James Ellroy compares the psychology of his protagonists who have to react in front of the same situations. I also remember very well the shock I had when I discovered BLOOD ON THE MOON in 1985 ; it was the first time in my life as a reader that I had the feeling that a thriller could be also literature.

A book for your library.
