1958. America is about to emerge into a bright new age – an age that will last until the 1000 days of John F. Kennedy’s presidency. Three men move beneath the glossy surface of power, men allied to the makers and shakers of the era. Peter Bondurant – Howard Hughes’s right-hand man, Jimm Hoffa’s hitman. Kemper Boyd – employed by J. Edgar Hoover to infiltrate the Kennedy clan. Ward Littell – a man seeking redemption in Bobby Kennedy’s drive against organised crime. The festering discontent of the age that burns brightly in these men’s hearts will go into supernova as the Bay of Pigs ends in calamity, the Mob clamours for payback and 1000 days end in brutal quietus in 1963.

Ellroy när han är som bäst. Hans text är så precis och exakt att inget flum får plats. Boken handlar om intrigerna mellan bröderna Kennedy, Hoffa, Hefner och Hoover och invasionen av Grisbukten. En riktig gangster bok.

"American Tabloid", the first novel in James Elroy's "American Underworld" historic crime trilogy, covering the five years from 1958 to 1963. An era where men like John, Joe and Robert Kennedy, Jack Ruby, J Edgar Hoover, Jimmy Hoffa and Howard Hughes, played pivotal roles. Elroy expertly creates natural personas intertwined with historical events to give the novel an almost true crime feel; an utterly amazing feat. As Vikram Jayanti said, “It’s raw, visceral, brutal, profane, hilarious, and deeply true about the darkness underlying the American Empire: politics as street crime moved up a rung.”
