This is a historical novel based on both fact and fiction. 

Facts: In October of 1965, Dorothy Kilgallen, a famous newspaper columnist and television personality, announced she was writing a book that would lay out the evidence proving the Warren Commission was wrong about President Kennedy being murdered by a lone assassin named Lee Harvey Oswald. One month later, she was found dead in her Park Avenue apartment in Manhattan. While the New York Police Department officially concluded the cause of death was suicide, credible evidence existed indicating she was murdered, which included the fact the manuscript of the book she was writing disappeared at the same time she died.

Fiction. Two NYPD homicide detectives conclude there is enough evidence indicating Dorothy Kilgallen was murdered to justify an investigation into her death. Suspecting that she was murdered to prevent her from writing a book that would prove the Warren Commission was wrong, the two homicide detectives retrace the investigation of President Kennedy’s murder, which takes them to Dallas, Texas to interview Jack Ruby in jail, to New Orleans to interview District Attorney Garrison, and to Washington DC to discuss the assassination with a former undercover CIA agent who knows what actually happened. The CIA attempts to thwart the NYPD detectives’ investigation, which includes an attempt to murder them. In the end, the two detectives determine out who actually murdered President Kennedy and the reason he was assassinated.
