Summary:
We are behind, and below, the moments of JFK’s presidential election, the Bay of Pigs, the assassination-in the underworld that connects Miami, LA, Chicago, D.C….
Where the CIA, the Mob, J. Edgar Hoover, Howard Hughes, Jimmy Hoffa, Cuban political exiles, and different loose cannons conspire within a covert anarchy….
Where the right drugs, the proper sum of money, the right murder, buys a moment of a man’s loyalty….
Where three renegade law-enforcement officers-a former L.A. cop and two FBI agents-are shaping occasions with the virulence of their greed and hatred, driving full-blast shotgun into history….
James Ellroy’s trademark nothing-spared making of reality, blistering language, and relentless narrative pace are here in electrifying abundance, place to work in a book seeing that shocking and daring seeing that anything he’s written: a key history that zeroes in on a time still shrouded in secrets and blows it wide open.
“Compulsively readable…. Hard to neglect.” -CHICAGO TRIBUNE
“Vastly entertaining.”
