«América» is the crime novel by James Ellroy, published by Ediciones B in paperback (568 pages, in Spanish).
The novel is set in the America of the 1950s and 1960s and interweaves the underworld of organized crime, unions and politics: the mafia, federal agents and the Kennedys coexist in a game of espionage, blackmail and violence, with the anti-Castro struggle and the failure of the Bay of Pigs as a backdrop.
Spanish translation of the original «American Tabloid», by Hernán Sabaté. The cover states «second edition».
A work for lovers of political corruption thrillers and the hard, direct prose that characterizes Ellroy.
