Forty years ago they killed Kennedy. Now, with less than a year to live, one of the assassins confesses to the greatest unsolved crime of the century. When volatile, 65 year-old former assassin, Jimmy Jeremiah, confides to investigative news reporter Daniel Pilgrim that he triggered one of the weapons that killed charismatic John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Pilgrim is skeptical to say the least. The story mesmerizes the reporter but was it true? Passed over for a Pulitzer Prize recently, Pilgrim is embittered, cynical and skeptical of everyone. Later, when he finds his life unraveling and his paranoia growing, Pilgrim realizes the truth of Jeremiah"s claims and the continuing power of the cover up. With his life in danger, the reporter realizes his only ally may be the man he despises, the genial yet odious, Jimmy Jeremiah. Set in South Florida and briefly Dallas, "The Guns of Dallas" is a suspense novel that examines the political under-currents of the last forty years, while maintaining the flavor of a great murder mystery, indeed, perhaps the greatest murder mystery of our time. The two men-protagonists Pilgrim and Jeremiah--become unforgettable American figures, even heroic representatives, despite their evident flaws.
