The Dream Slayer: A Novel of the John F. Kennedy Assassination and Funeral

The Dream Slayer is a fictionalized account of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The story is told through the perspectives of seven men: Lee Harvey Oswald, John F. and Robert F. Kennedy, Patrolman J.D. Tippit, Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry, Dallas District Attorney Henry Wade, and Secret Service Agent Clint Hill.
The story begins on a rainy, Friday morning in November, 1963. In Fort Worth, Texas, the president prepares for the second day of a campaign style junket to Texas – a state he narrowly won in 1960 and desperately wants to carry in 1964. Thirty miles away, in Arlington, a suburb of Dallas, a lonely, disillusioned, recently repatriated defector – a self proclaimed Marxist and former Marine – sets a desperate plan in action: a plan he feels will bring him the fame, fortune, adulation, and love he so wantonly craves. The story unfolds over the next four days through the actions, thoughts, conversations, and dreams of its major protagonists. Exhaustively researched and closely following the chronology of events, The Dream Slayer gives readers a memorable, fast-paced, action filled account of that fateful weekend.
