The JFK Report

Beschreibung

On November 22nd, 1963, U.S. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated as he was riding with his wife, Jackie, alongside him, in an open top motorcade along Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. According to the Warren Commission's Report, JFK had been shot and killed by lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald. The majority of people around the world found the final conclusions of the Warren Commission's Report completely incredulous and quite frankly, totally unbelievable. In fact, the report was soon dubbed ""the greatest work of fiction ever published"", and to this day there has never been a definitive explanation of what happened on Dealey Plaza that day that has managed to satisfy everyone. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was the first, last, and only Roman Catholic ever to hold the office of President of the United States, and most people looking on would have thought that a Roman Catholic President in the White House would be wonderful news for the Church of Rome. But in the Vatican, the current incumbent Pope John XXIII was not at all pleased by the news, and he saw JFK, with his numerous illicit affairs and sexual dalliances, as a massive threat to the good name, teachings, reputation, and above all, the moral guidance of the worldwide Roman Catholic Church. Pope John XXIII made his decision.

Autor

Trevor Holman is English and was born, brought up, and educated in South London, where he worked for many years as a professional musician before moving to Norfolk (which is also in the U.K.). For most of that time, Trevor's career was centered on the music and advertizing industries, while for many years also serving in court as a Magistrate/Justice of the Peace. In 2003, Trevor and his wife, Frances, moved to the Algarve region of Southern Portugal, where he began a fruitful collaboration with a talented lyricist. Over a six-year period, the two of them wrote in excess of one hundred songs, including four complete stage musicals. Trevor is now concentrating fulltime on his writing career, and he is currently working on a series of crime novels known collectively as The Algarve Crime Thrillers. These novels so far include The Mijas Murderer, The Faro Forger and The Salzburg Suicides, with many more in the series to follow. The JFK Report however is a one-off ""stand-alone"" thriller, which takes a behind-the-scenes look at the presidency and the various events leading up to the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and the book proposes a new alternative plot as to why it was felt in certain quarters that there was no alternative, and JFK had to be assassinated. The novel looks at who was really behind it, and who it was that actually carried out the assassination. Trevor and his wife still live in the Algarve.
