Sequel to Ellroy's American Tabloid . Tabloid was gooooood. Tabloid holds its own with Don DeLillo's Libra . Ellroy's Dallas pushes plausibility towards believability. Cold Six Thousand doesn't cohere.
Material is hot.
Maybe too hot. Believability falls short. Tedrow paired with Dallas badge for simple hit. Despises Wayne Sr.'s hate politics. Jr. lets Durfee go.
