Darkly imaginative alternative history thriller from the global bestseller and author of the Bernie Gunther thrillers. America, 1960. In Washington, DC, John F Kennedy has just been elected President. In Havana, Fidel Castro has been in office for a year, and with Cold War tensions rapidly heating up and the Soviets leading the space race, the thought of a Communist leader so close to home is already raising American blood pressure. Anti-communist fever is rampant in the USA, with a paranoid establishment seeing reds under every bed. Nevertheless, the decision to snuff out the threat of Castro by hiring Tom Jefferson, America' s best assassin, to kill him comes from an unusual quarter: the Mafia. But Jefferson' s very skillset that makes him the perfect man for this job also ensures he has no qualms in double crossing his criminal paymasters. Jefferson has no issue with Castro: his preferred target is someone much closer to home. . . ' Mind boggling . . . keeps you guessing until the end' Sunday Express
Not since Oliver Stone' s JFK has there been such a cleverly contrived reworking of the Kennedy assassination myth - The TimesRiveting . . . as shocking as it is brilliant - Mail on SundayEnough excitement to leave you feeling limp. A really terrific read - Literary Review
