Nationally bestselling author Chris Hauty, one of the high-octane writers "to take the thriller world by storm" (The Real Book Spy), returns with a riveting stand-alone novel that explores what might have really happened at the JFK assassination.
Set in the present day, a disgraced former Secret Service officer and a Jesuit professor join forces to delve into the mysteries surrounding the events of November 22, 1963. Fixated on deciphering the conspiracies behind the history-changing assassination, they are oblivious to the fact that the cabal is still active-and may face an end as bloody as the carnage in Dealey Plaza. Will they be able to uncover the truth in time? Or will they become two more footnotes in history? Chris Hauty's debut, Deep State, was a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice, and Barry Award nominee. Other novels include the CALIBA Award–nominated Savage Road, and Storm Rising, as well as the acclaimed novella Insurrection Day. He currently lives in Glendale, California. "Mack Sanderson capably narrates this story of two unlikely partners-a discredited former Secret Service agent and a Jesuit professor-as they embark on a modern-day quest to learn the truth about JFK's assassination. Sanderson portrays the reluctant former agent, who is drawn into the mission only because of his promise to a recently murdered lover. The quietly intense professor is persuasive in his insistence that Kennedy wasn't killed by a single operative. As the two men follow the clues, a secret cabal and their menacing assassin threaten the investigators' every move. Sanderson's pacing carries the listener through the convoluted details of the search, which involves encounters in other countries. More than one surprise begs the question: Was JFK's assassination a conspiracy?"
