A Jason Hammond Novel
SUMMARY: The time had come, she decided, to rid herself of this burden, to take the steps necessary to put the matter to rest once and for all. And the first step, she knew - against every instinct and desire - was to watch that film.
During the reading of her mother's will, Sheila Baker discovers that she has inherited everything her parents ever possessed, including their secrets. A mysterious safe-deposit box key leads her to the answers to one of history's greatest conspiracies: Who killed John F. Kennedy? Not only does she have the missing film, revealing her mother as the infamous Babushka Lady, but she has proof that there was more than one shooter.
On the run from people who would stop at nothing to keep secrets buried, Sheila turns to billionaire sleuth Jason Hammond for help. Having lost his own family in a tragic plane crash, Jason knows a thing or two about running from the past. With a target on their backs and time running out, can Jason finally uncover the truth behind the crime that shook a generation - or will he and Sheila become its final victims?
REVIEW: This was a great book!! The story kept me on the edge of my seat, waiting to turn the page to see what else happened. Even though I am vaguely familiar with the Kennedy Assassination, I was able to follow the details without any trouble. There were plenty of twist and turns and wondering of Shelia and Jason would make it all the way through to the end. The ending is full of surprises. Something I found refreshing was how Jason and Sheila kept their relationship chase and did not form a romantic relationship in the few weeks they were together. Most authors would have had them making a long-term commitment by the end of the book but Wil Mara went a different route. I can see them developing a relationship in future books but nothing permanent was decided here. This is an awesome book that should be checked out.
