Amarhamente ambalwa a ngeentsuku emva kwemini embindini weMadrid nasekuqaleni kwebhulorho yekomkhulu, kodwa oko kuthethiweyo, kuthembeke kakhulu kwaye kuxhotyiswe kakuhle ngesihloko esitsha. U-Ellroy akazange alinde ixesha elide kwaye, ngaphambi kokuba aqale, wahamba kumgangatho wesine apho kwakuza kusayinwa khona. Inxalenye enkulu yabathengi ababehamba ngayo abazange bamqaphele, kwaye akuyi kuba ngenxa yokuba akabonwa.
