Product Description
by Joseph A. Kayne (Author)
Jonathan Sheppard inherited what might be the only contemporaneous account of how and why Lee Harvey Oswald became a presidential assassin. But is it fact or fiction? Sheppard's journey to find the truth takes the reader on a whirlwind tour of the decade which begins with John Kennedy's murder and ends at the defining moment of Watergate. His meticulous dissection of the document proves to be more than a fresh take on the crime of the 20th century. It is an exploration of the history, politics and culture of the era, populated by a Forrest Gump-like cast of cameo appearances ranging from Joe DiMaggio to Frank Sinatra to Malcolm X to Billy Crystal. In the end, Sheppard faces the ethical dilemma whether to share the document or, like his benefactor, keep it to himself.
