Confidential, White Jazz, American Tabloid, James Ellroy's high-velocity best-selling novels have redefined noir for our age, propelling us within inches of the dark realities of America's recent history. Here in his ambitious & explosive novel 'The Cold Six Thousand', he puts the whole of the 1960s under his blistering lens. The result is a work of fierce, epic fiction, a speed-ball through one of the most tumultuous times in all of American history. It begins in Dallas: November 22, 1963. The heart of the American Dream detonated. Wayne Tedrow Jr., a young Vegas cop, arrives with a loathsome job to do. He's got $6,000 in cash & no idea that he is about to plunge into the cover-up conspiracy already brewing around Kennedy's assassination, no idea that this will mark the beginning of a hellish five-year ride through the private underbelly of public policy. Ellroy's furiously paced narrative tracks Tedrow's ride: Dallas back to Vegas, with the Mob and Howard Hughes, south w/ the Klan & J. Edgar Hoover, shipping out to Vietnam & returning home, the bearer of white powder, plotting new deaths as 1968 approaches. Tedrow stands witness, as the icons of an iconic era mingle with cops, killers, hoods, & provocateurs. His story is ground zero in Ellroy's stunning vision: historical confluence as American Nightmare. * HIGH PRAISE: "One of the great American writers of our time." -Los Angeles Times Book Review "James Ellroy is a master . . . using a stripped, spare noir style that hits like a cleaver but is honed like a scalpel." -Chicago Tribune "Nobody in his generation matches the breadth and depth of James Ellroy's way with noir." -Detroit News * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: JAMES ELLROY was born in Los Angeles in 1948. His L.A. Quartet novels--The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, L.A. Confidential, & White Jazz--were international best-sellers. His novel American Tabloid was Time magazine's Best Book (fiction) of 1995; his memoir, My Dark Places, was a 'Time' Best book of the Year and a NYT Notable book for 1996. He lives in Kansas City. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
