The story follows three men moving on the fringes of American power between 1958 and 1963: a gunman in the service of Howard Hughes, an agent infiltrated into the Kennedy circle, and a lawyer obsessed with dismantling organized crime. Their paths cross as the Bay of Pigs invasion fails, the mob seeks revenge, and the country heads toward the assassination of John F. Kennedy, in a plot of crime, corruption, and political conspiracy.
First installment of James Ellroy's Underworld USA trilogy.
Recommended for readers of crime fiction and those interested in the political conspiracies of the Kennedy era.
