Bob Lee Swagger is back in a thriller fifty years in the
making . . .
It’s not even a clue. It’s a whisper, a trace, a ghost echo,
drifting down through the decades via chance connections so
fragile that they would disintegrate in the puff of a
breath. But it’s enough to get legendary former Marine
sniper Bob Lee Swagger interested in the events of November
22, 1963, and the third bullet that so decisively ended the
life of John F. Kennedy and set the stage for one of the
most enduring controversies of our time.
Swagger begins his slow night stalk through a much-traveled
landscape. But he’s asking questions that few have asked
before: Why did the third bullet explode? Why did Lee Harvey
Oswald, about to become the most hunted man on earth, risk
it all by returning to his rooming house to secure a pistol
he easily could have brought with him? How could a
conspiracy that went unpenetrated for fifty years have been
thrown together in the two and a half days between the
announcement of the president’s route and the assassination
itself?
As Bob investigates, another voice enters the narrative:
knowing, ironic, almost familiar, that of a gifted,
Yale-educated veteran of the CIA Plans Division. Hugh
Meachum has secrets and the means and the will to keep them
buried. When weighed against his own legacy, Swagger’s life
is an insignificant expense—but to blunt the threat, he’ll
first have to ambush the sniper.
As each man hunts the other across today’s globe and through
the thickets of history, The Third Bullet builds to an
explosive climax that will finally prove what Bob Lee
Swagger has always known: it’s never too late for justice.
