Kennedy makes a historic run for the White House. Despite concerns about his Catholicism, Kennedy's outward charm is winning the country over, but his inner demons are putting his candidacy in danger and risk destroying his political career.That same year, Caitlin Russo, a former cop turned reporter, is devoting her skills to finding her husband's killer. His job as a CIA operative posed its fair share of risks, but when Caitlin discovers his notes about the case that led to his death, she knows there's more to the story than simple tragedy.As Caitlin and Kennedy search for the people responsible for upending their lives, some ugly truths about American politics and foreign affairs come to light, and Caitlin finds herself in a web of deceit and shattered hopes, realizing that heroes aren't always who they seem.

I was born just after JFK was assassinated,so much of what I learned here surprised me.I knew he was a ladies‘ man, but I didn‘t realize the extent of it. While it‘s fiction, it feels heavily based on fact. The writing is strong and kept me engaged from start to finish. I was also fascinated—and shocked—by all the scandal woven through the story, from Cuba to the Mafia to hired guns.A great read for anyone interested in history mixed with intrigue
