My review
Hollywood Bilker by Leopold Borstinski.
Alex Cohen Book 6.
Is building another casino worth dying for?
Alex returns to America and settles in 1960s California to build a drug and prostitution empire in LA. When he gets a call from the mob to help the CIA invade Cuba, Alex must decide between family and his business associates.If he helps Uncle Sam and the Mafia then he puts his life on the line fighting for freedom and the chance to rebuild his Havana casinos. If he refuses the favor then death will call on him, his ex-wife and their sons. Once he agrees to one accommodation then others are sure to follow, in a decade where even presidents, assassins and presidential candidates were whacked at a terrifying rate.The sixth book in the Alex Cohen series is an historical thriller novel, which rips open Jewish organized crime involvement in Lee Harvey Oswald's death and the assassination of Bobby Kennedy. Leopold Borstinski's searing crime fiction lays bare the making of today’s USA.
Another great read in this series. I love the story its so Different to what I normally read. I do hope there is more to come. 4*.
