Özet

It's 1958. America is about to emerge into a bright new age - an age that will last until the 1,000 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’ right-hand man, Jimmy Hoffa’s hit man. 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 1,000 days end in brutal quietus in 1963.

James Ellroy's writing is unique in its character and I just love it. The tale he tells in this trilogy is perhaps more fascinating to someone of my age who remembers the events covered and the personalities involved, however, anyone could be swept along with the pace and excitement of these books. For me though one person makes this audiobook a superb listen and that is the awesome Jeff Harding as narrator. He makes any book come alive for me and my wife and his ability to keep one interested through a very long book is sheer genius. We have listened to just about every Jeff Harding book on Audible that is over 10 hours long and eagerly await every new one. We have also tried to contact him to let him know just what pleasure he has brought us - but to no avail - so Jeff I hope you read reviews. I am now about to start on the third book in this trilogy and would recommend this series to everyone. It is gritty in places and perhaps a bit too graphic for some - but this is REAL. Full marks to author and narrator - thank you both.

Sheer brilliance

Jeff Harding did an incredible job narrating this book, his range was fantastic and really helped to bring life to the characters.

The story itself is a great, the characters are strong and their journeys are interweaved well with the supporting cast of famous names.

It is worryingly believable, I know little about the JFK's rise and fall from power to appreciate how he was seen at the time, but this telling speaks of a time that would be inconceivable today. Hopefully...

An epic tale and incredible vocal performance

Excellent thriller. Not for the squeamish or culturally sensitive. The audio rendition is first class & I found it addictive. The character voices are suited to the people involved, all done by one man. Hoover is by far the most apt, slimy, polite & frightening.
It’s best to remember this is fiction set against real people & real events. Don’t let subject bias spoil the experience.

Audio book excellence
