Behind and underneath the scenes of JFK's murder, the Bay of Pigs, and the presidential election, we are in the underworld that links Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington, D.C.
Where a clandestine anarchy is orchestrated by the CIA, the Mob, Howard Hughes, Jimmy Hoffa, J. Edgar Hoover, Cuban political exiles, and other loose cannons...
Where a man's allegiance may be bought for a time with the appropriate drugs, money, and murder...
Where three law-enforcement renegades—two FBI agents and a former L.A. police officer—are riding shotgun into history and influencing events with the intensity of their hate and greed.
This novel is as shocking and daring as anything James Ellroy has written, with his trademark uncompromising portrayal of reality, scorching language, and unrelenting narrative pace all employed to electrifying effect. It is a secret history that zeroes in on a time still shrouded in secrets and blows it wide open.
