Présentation de l'éditeur
Deadly Risks is a thriller which provides a new slant on JFK's assassination in a gripping story that is sure to entertain. The novel revolves around a young woman's pursuit of her father's hidden past and the role he played in President Kennedy's murder. Kelly Roberts knows nothing of her father's secret life until he dies and a lawyer gives her a letter from her father with the ominous warning that she should discuss it with no one but the lawyer. When she later tries to contact the lawyer, Kelly learns that he has died suddenly -- leaving her to pursue the mystery of her father's letter without the lawyer's guidance. With twists and turns based on political reality and historical fact, Deadly Risks weaves a tale of intrigue and passion that resounds with the ring of authenticity.

Lew is a former Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University Law Center and a former Teaching Fellow in Government at Harvard College. Drawing upon his considerable research for The Promise and the Performance, Lew Paper turns to fiction to provide a spell-binding story which posits a theory of how and why John F. Kennedy was assassinated - all of which is consistent with the known facts of that unforgettable tragedy. Kelly Roberts, a young woman enjoying an idyllic life in a Washington, DC suburb, is confronted with a frightening dilemma after her father dies and then her brother is killed on an African safari. The dilemma arises from a note from her father, a former CIA official in the Kennedy administration, who explains that he was involved in JFK's assassination and that he wants to make amends by leaving a method for future investigators to find the truth. However, he is concerned that some of his surviving co-conspirators will not want the truth to come out and suggests that the note be given to the JFK library after his children's deaths. But Kelly cannot leave well enough alone and strives to uncover what really happened - and what role her father played in it. The book unfolds with a tale of intrigue and passion that resonates with the ring of authenticity. N° de réf. du vendeur 86548
