Epic conclusion to an epic series

Kerr gives his audience an action-packed conclusion to his epic "The Bear" series in this latest volume. Each of Kerr's books are stand-alone novels, but like anything the more one brings to the table the grander the journey. The story arc for this book stretches from the Senator McCarthy's HUAC hearings of the 1950's to just weeks before the Manson murders. Some critics have described this series as "Lonesome Dove" meets "The Godfather". Kerr doesn't disappoint. This is a novel with an insider's knowledge of Los Angeles politics and the machinations of Hollywood. I don't believe any other author has crafted a series of books that sets its action against the backdrop of California history. Two big thumbs up for this series and this action-packed novel.
