Publisher's Summary:

Dallas, November 2, 1963. Wayne Tedrow, Jr., has arrived to kill a man. The fee is $6,000. He finds himself instead in the middle of a cover-up following JFKs assassination. There follows a hellish five-year ride through the sordid underbelly of public policy via Las Vegas, Howard Hughes, Vietnam, CIA dope dealing, Cuba, sleazy showbiz, racism and the Klan.

This is the 1960s under Ellroys blistering lens, the icons of the era mingled with cops, killers, hoods and provocateurs.

Members Reviews:

Different style

I found the style he wrote this very difficult at first, the short repetitive sentences grated. But as a previous reviewer said you do get used to it.

The actual story is terrific.

The Cold Six Thousand - didn't enjoy this book

The Cold Six Thousand - didn't enjoy this book as I

have with other James Elroy books like The Black Dahlia

Narration was great by Jeff as always

mind blowing

an amazing book,I could believe it may sv bin done that way I n real life,no one like ellroy

Baroque and Epic Ellroy

Its Epic length with pace maintained makes this a fantastic book. I preferred the snappier plot of American Tabolid, but if you enjoyed AT you should enjoy this too.

Read them and then listen to them.

I devoured this book about 10 years ago along with the other two in the trilogy. When I signed up for Audible they were my first ports of call. Nobody writes like Ellroy in my opinion and to be able to hear the style and the characters was fantastic. I'm convinced Pete Bondurant is the inspiration for Reacher.
