From the New York Times bestselling authors of The Nazi Conspiracy and The Lincoln Conspiracy comes a true, little-known story about the first assassination attempt on John F. Kennedy, right before his inauguration. Kennedy, the thirty-fifth president of the United States, is often ranked among Americans� most well-liked presidents. Yet what most Americans don�t know is that JFK�s historic presidency almost ended before it began�at the hands of a disgruntled sociopathic loner armed with dynamite. On December 11, 1960, shortly after Kennedy�s election and before his inauguration, a retired postal worker named Richard Pavlick waited in his car�a parked Buick�on a quiet street in Palm Beach, Florida. Pavlick knew the president-elect�s schedule. He knew when Kennedy would leave his house. He knew where Kennedy was going. From there, Pavlick had a simple plan�one that could�ve changed the course of history. Written in the gripping, page-turning style that is the hallmark of Brad Meltzer and Josh Mensch�s bestselling series, this is a slice of history vividly brought to life. Meltzer and Mensch are at the top of their game with this brilliant exploration of what could�ve been for one of the most compelling leaders of the 20th century.
