Resumen del Editor

Acclaimed “True Crime” detective Nathan Heller, whose cases have sold more than 1 million copies, returns to uncover the secrets behind Robert F. Kennedy’s 1968 assassination in this brand-new novel from bestselling ROAD TO PERDITION author Max Allan Collins.

In 1968, Nate Heller is there when Robert Kennedy is shot at the Ambassador Hotel. Heller takes it upon himself to investigate the murder when a friend of his and Bobby’s raises doubts about the LAPD’s investigation. Heller strongly suspects the involvement of Jimmy Hoffa (currently imprisoned), but Hoffa seems to be in the clear as the private eye looks into the possible presence of CIA enemies of RFK’s on the murder night, the apparent manipulation of Sirhan Sirhan into a Manchurian Candidate-style assassin, and a probable second shooter.

Nate Heller is Da'Man

Another case for Chicago's top P.I., this one starts in Los Angeles, 1968. The day Robert Kennedy was gunned down in a hotel kitchen. America is told that this horrific murder is the work of a Middle Eastern busboy acting alone. But, just as his brother's death was shrouded in mystery, RFK's assassination (still) holds many questions, and Nate Heller is here to get some answers.
Max Collins again delivers the goods, with impeccable research making every detail accurate and believable. Since the first book in the Nate Heller series, Collins has brought names and places -- historic and not -- to life by cleverly weaving Nate Heller into the fabric of the times and events.
"Too Many Bullets" doesn't disappoint. You're there, America in the late '60's. Collins captures the feel of the Era, and adds just enough 'fun details' (like what's playing on the radio, who's on stage in Vegas and what you should wear to lunch) to paint a full picture.
I have to thank Mr . Collins for another great piece of historical fiction. Actually, his books are light on the fiction and heavy on (very entertaining) history...which is probably why I enjoy all his books so much.
Oh, and Dan John Miller's narration is much more than narration...it is he who brings Nathan Heller to life in audio books.

Seems like the end. Loved these books.

Hope there are more. If there aren't, what a fitting end. Long live Nate Heller.

Another Heller success

If this is truly it, Max Allan Collins closed the book on 30+ years of the Nathan Heller Case Files in grand fashion. He answered some long wondered questions to longtime readers, the name of the mysterious 2nd wife being one. I hope there are more tales of our favorite Chicago P. I., but can be content if this is it.

Nate takes on RKK assassination

This was a great road trip listen.

The book states at the beginning that this is a work of fiction interwoven with actual events. So it be no surprise when the author imbeds Nate into Robert F Kennedy's presidential campaign as his personal bodyguard and is on duty, in fact right next to RFK when he was killed in the Ambassador Hotel in LA in 1968.

You are right there when it happens then Nate takes on figuring out what really happened in time after the murder triying to answer if there were really multiple shooters and a conspiracy.

I was 16 when RFK was shot so the event was very real to me. I don't remember there being a conspiracy like there was after the JFK assassination. The author does a good job of presenting his case.

Very entertaining

4/5 good story but one gripe that I have to say. If you are going to write a novel about RFK and the assasination of him and at the end you discuss all his children but one it makes you look petty.

Nathan Heller - always extraordinary!

These stories that insert Nathan Heller into actual historical events are exceptionally entertaining. Well-researched and believable (even though they’re fictional).
