The Cold Six Thousand by James Ellroy
Prateek's review
rating:
The second in Ellroy's still unfinished trilogy, Cold picks up right where American Tabloid leaves off -- the Kennedy Assassination. All the same elements are in place -- the sleazy underworld who, in Ellory's world, are in charge of everything, the pulpy lowlifes, and caustically cynical worldview that leaves zero room for optimism. Here, Ellroy offers his unique take on the RFK and MLK assassinations. But it cuts deeper than American Tabloid. There are more double-crosses, more moral crises and a broader canvas at work. And as always -- Ellroy layers sentence after sentence into an intricate story that defies easy description.
