The Camelot Conspiracy: The Kennedys, Castro and the CIA - Hardcover

Praise for The Collaborator:
?A dense, intensely satisfying thriller from one of the modern masters of the craft.?--"Daily Mail"
?No summary can suggest its depth and texture. Seymour is not one to cut corners. He does his research, thinks hard about his story and gives us richly imagined novels that bristle with authenticity. Very few thriller writers tell us as much about their characters.? Patrick Anderson, "The Washington Post"

Duke Vincent unfolds, a gripping story emerges, masterfully connecting the dots between the Kennedys, Castro, The Mob, the CIA . . . and the Grassy Knoll.
