Publisher Notes
Jack Flippo stumbles upon Marty Dufrain, the owner of a few frames of black-and-white film that just might show a second gunman firing at President Kennedy on that famous November day. In the lee of the triple overpass, overshadowed by the schoolbook depository, squats the Grassy Knoll. It stood at the center of the Kennedy assassination as surely as it serves as the focus for all manner of crackpots and conspiracy theorists today. In his latest mess, Jack Flippo seems to have found his share of them, From Jack's friends -- a homicidal con artist making a buck off assassination re-creations in the "You-are-there JFK deathmobile" -- to his enemies -- an oxygen-dependent ex-killer and his cognitively challenged sons-in-law -- Umbrella Man keeps Jack wondering which group he dreads most.
Media Reviews
"Swanson maintains enough different levels of craziness, from the Gillich brothers' homicidal simple-mindedness to the assassinologists' conspiracy blather, to satisfy the most devoted Carl Hiassen fan."
