Description

American Tabloid by James Ellroy A gripping tale of power and corruption set against the backdrop of 1950s America. Three men - Pete Bondurant, Jimmy Hoffa's hitman; Kemper Boyd, an undercover agent; and Ward Littell, a man seeking redemption - move beneath the surface of politics and organised crime. As the country emerges into a new era under John F Kennedy's presidency, tensions simmer beneath the glossy surface of power. The Bay of Pigs ends in calamity, and the Mob clamours for payback. Against this volatile landscape, these men's personal demons burn brightly, threatening to destroy them all. Published in 2010, American Tabloid is a gripping novel that explores the darker side of the American Dream.
