About The Author

James Ellroy was born in Los Angeles in 1948. He is the author of the acclaimed 'LA Quartet': The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, LA Confidential and White Jazz. His most recent novel, Blood's a Rover, completes the magisterial 'Underworld USA Trilogy' – the first two volumes of which (American Tabloid and The Cold Six Thousand) were both Sunday Times bestsellers.

The quality mark of The Cold Six Thousand is that it can give heavyweight punch to even that most worked-over image, the shooting of JFK … Knockout

Other text

Richer and darker than ever, this story … reminds us how far ahead of his peers Ellroy really is
