Just picked up Cold 6 Thousand - unlike, apparently, most
people who either love or loathe Ellroy I've always been kind
of in the middle. I feel he's tremendously talented but I
also feel that his writing is sloppy & he opts for easy
sensationalism & seeing how popular he is doing what he
does I don't hold much hope he'll live up to his full
potential. Still, so far at least, I think he's still worth
reading. This one goes into my TBR pile which is almost a
library unto itself, so God knows when I'll get to read it
but I wanted to ask a question of those who have read it.I've
read a reference to French hitmen - does this relate to my
(current) favourite Kennedy assassination theory/fantasy
(take your pick) - the one that goes : Sam Giancana (New
Orleans mob boss) had JFK hit, using "outside talent",
specifically Corsican torpedos (I've seen the movies, don't
you worry I know all the words) who aside from fees as reward
were given drug dealing territories in South America?
Rene.
