The Legacy: A Novel

Financially strapped Cole Egan is banking all he has on his future at Gilchrist & Company, one of New York's most powerful brokerage houses. Everything changes when he receives a telephone call from a stranger, informing him that his father is dead. His legacy is even more disturbing: a key to a safe deposit box that contains a secret tape of the John F. Kennedy assassination, filmed from the other side of Dealey Plaza. What is shown taking place on the grassy knoll proves beyond a doubt that a second killer was involved. Then the tape disappears. Enlisting the help of his childhood friend, beautiful Nicki Anderson, Cole plunges into a desperate search for answers about his father, his family, and the secrets that have blackened a nation's soul for over thirty years. The hunter becomes the hunted when operatives of a super-secret agency buried deep in the Defense Department embark on a killing mission sanctioned by Operation Snowfall, a shadowy organization that trades in disinformation and death. But it is only a small part of a much larger conspiracy linked to a powerful family's controlling interests in unions and the illegal drug trade - one that reaches all the way to the President himself. Cole's only hope of survival is to find the tape and get it into the public arena at last ... before the truth about what really happened that long-ago day in Dallas is buried forever.
