This is the last book of the Kennedy trilogy in the "Nate Heller" series, and thank God for that. While an interesting story, I thought Max Collins drew it out too long. According to him the Kennedy assassination was a conspiracy. Collins states a Gallup pole---Collins mixes fiction with history---found 81% of Americans believe the JFK assassination was a conspiracy. Something I don't have a problem with. Before anyone decides JFK's death was a tragedy, they should read "The Dark Side of Camelot." Still, it beggars belief how many real people---and many of Collins' fictional people---who were witnesses of the assassination, to some extent, died in questionable circumstances over the years.

What I do have a problem with is Collins' preoccupation with his alter ego Nate Heller's sex life. This guy seems to have sex with more women than even the Kennedy brothers did. And Collins' preoccupation with oral sex---and his description of it in these books---makes me wonder if he should be spending more time with his therapist.
