AFTER DALLAS is a riveting historical thriller that delves into the conspiracy to assassinate John F. Kennedy, uncovering dark currents of trust and betrayal, duty, and hubris. Amid a world of misguided zealots and dangerous secrets, the novel immerses readers in the moral dilemmas of those who crave power, weaving a complex web of political intrigue and family drama.

Some secrets are meant to be kept hidden, some demand to be told. Sometimes it's hard to know the difference.

Whether you're drawn to the tension of a John Grisham legal thriller, the lyrical texture of literary fiction, or Don DeLillo's sharp social commentary, After Dallas delivers a thought-provoking narrative that is both captivating and illuminating. Its characters are relatable, memorable, and imbued with authenticity and emotional depth. Fans of John le Carré will enjoy the portrayals of ambiguous characters, Cold War era intrigue, and the psychological complexity of political power players.

The novel reimagines pivotal moments in time, blending alternate history with suspense, pulling the reader into events like the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Revolution. Iconic figures like Lyndon Johnson and Allen Dulles are cast into a world where political power comes at a devastating cost, revealing the chilling consequences of secrecy and ambition.

In a world forever changed by the gunshots in Dealey Plaza, After Dallas explores the untold story of the two men left alive who know the truth about that fateful day. As they grapple with the unintended consequences of the cover-up, the novel offers an intimate look at the psychological burden of sustaining lies and the fallout on those they love.

Love of family, the quest for redemption, and fate bring these two men together over twenty years after collaborating to hide the truth behind the assassination of JKF.

Love is a powerful motivator. But so is retribution.
