The first novel in Ellroy's extraordinary Underworld USA Trilogy as
featured on BBC Radio 4's A Good Read. 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. Pete Bondurant - Howard Hughes's right-hand man, Jimmy
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 discount 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 the 1000 days ends in brutal
quietus in 1963.
