Overview

When Joe Kennedy ordered a Mafia hitman to assassinate Winston Churchill, he set in motion a chain of shocking world shattering events which led to his son, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, being gunned down in Dallas twenty-five years later. At its heart was the Churchill Letter. If it is found by the wrong people it could fracture the American-British Alliance, end the Special Relationship and lose the War on Terror. Newspaper reporter Niven Robb is at the heart of the mystery. He saved Churchill's life; he knew Joe Kennedy, JFK and Bobby Kennedy, too. He was also a pal of Frank Sinatra. When Niven Robb dies, his grandson Ritchie Robb, who is also a newspaper reporter, falls heir to the biggest story of his or any other reporter's life - a story which will make Watergate look like small potatoes. The story begins in London, moves through the war years to New York and Washington DC, switches to Dallas in November 1963 and finally, dramatically, ends in Thailand on a small Island in the Gulf of Siam.

Author Information

David Leggat has worked in newspapers for over forty years and is now retired. This is his first novel, but he has had biographies of the famous Scottish football managers Scot Symon and Bill Struth published He is Scottish and lives in Glasgow. He freely admits to being enthralled by Winston Churchill's story, by his words and by his deeds. His love of Churchill inspired this book and he plans to feature the greatest-ever Briton in another. Soon. His great loves are jazz, the music of the Great American Songbook, especially when interpreted by Frank Sinatra. He says he is jealous of Niven Robb in only one respect; the character he invented for this book, met and became friends with Sinatra. Wow!
