Part of Butch Karp, book 6
First published 1996
Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Butch Karp receives an unexpected assignment when Congress decides to reopen its investigation into President Kennedy's assassination. Karp assembles his investigative team and begins digging into the decades-old case. Their work quickly yields startling new evidence that previous investigations missed or ignored. But as Karp and his colleagues pursue these leads, they discover they have stumbled into something far more dangerous than a cold case review. A vast conspiracy emerges, one that extends into the most powerful corridors of American government. The closer Karp gets to the truth about what really happened in Dallas, the more he realizes that exposing it will put him and his team in mortal danger. Karp must decide whether to pursue justice regardless of the personal cost.
