Summary

It was the shot heard around the world.

On 22nd November 1963, John F. Kennedy's presidential motorcade rode through Dealey Plaza. He and his wife, Jackie, greeted the crowds on a glorious Friday afternoon in Dallas, Texas.

But what if it missed?

Mitch Newman is a photojournalist based out of Washington, DC. His phone never rings. When it does, a voice he hasn't heard in years will tell him his former fiancée Jean has taken her own life.

When the truth is bigger than all the lies.

Jean was an investigative reporter working the case of a lifetime. Somewhere in the shreds of her investigation is the truth behind her murder.

Who would believe it?

For Mitch, piecing together the clues will become a dangerous obsession: one that will lead him to the dark heart of his country - and into the crossfire of a conspiracy....

I’ve been a great fan of R.J. Ellory’s book for a number of years but I can’t muster up encouragement for this one. The story moves along at a snail’s pace and it isn’t until the final couple of chapters that this reader found the pace quicken up.
The central character, Mitch Newman spends most of the story wallowing in self pity about a lost love affair after he left his young girlfriend to travel to Korea at the height of its war in the 1950s. He was given an ultimatum by his girl to choose to remain with her or else their love affair would be doomed. He chose to visit Korea in his capacity as a war photographer. Going to Korea was his worst mistake as he comes to realise on his return to the USA.
Fast forward - or should I say slow- to 1963 when he travels from his Washington home to Dallas to try and find out why the love of his life went there at the same time JF Kennedy was visiting. Surprisingly the President doesn’t die from an assassin’s gun and he survives to be the leader of the free world.
Shortly after returning from Dallas Mitch’s girlfriend, Jean dies. The coroner decides that she committed suicide but Mitch isn’t so sure.
I tried very hard to like this book but my trying was in vain as one of m favourite authors fell short in producing a worthwhile novel.
Things can only get better and I look forward to Ellory’s next novel.
