The Cold Six Thousand is the inevitable result of the excellent American Tabloid. Again James Ellroy has a fiction on a historical reality background. Cru, efficient and pragmatic, The Cold Six Thousand skillfully connects the Vietnam War, the Bay of Pigs and the investigation of the Kennedy assassination. Mixing cleverly players Ku Klux Klan, the Mafia, the FBI and the CIA, he did not fail to continue the saga of Pete Bondurant and his acolytes of the first part of the trilogy Unerworld USA: American Tabloid.
