A whistleblower looks too deeply into a presidentâs assassination in this darkly satiric conspiracy thriller from the author of The Manchurian Candidate. Â It has been more than a decade since the assassination of US President Timothy Kegan, who was gunned down while riding in a motorcade through the streets of Philadelphia. The âlone gunmanâ responsible was arrested and convicted, and the country has moved on. Â President Keganâs half-brother Nick tries to move on as wellâuntil he overhears the deathbed confession of a man who claims to have been a second shooter. Suddenly Nickâs embroiled in a Kafkaesque conspiracy that stretches from Washington DC to Cuba and all the way into Englandâs Court of St. James. Heâs surrounded by mobsters, oil magnates, crooked cops, religious leaders, CIA âspooks,â Hollywood celebrities, and international power brokersâincluding the renowned Washington hostess, fixer, and femme fatale, Lola Camonteâall of whom seem intent upon doing him in. And the closer Nick comes to the startling truth about the assassination, the less he really wants to know. Â Winter Kills is an outrageously dark and funny take on the John F. Kennedy assassination and the conspiracy furor that followed it, from the master storyteller who brought you The Manchurian Candidate and Prizziâs Honor. Â |
