In the Pacific during WWII, Billy Boyle must discover if
skipper, and future president, Jack Kennedy is a
cold-blooded killer.
1943: In the midst of the brutal, hard-fought Solomon
Islands campaign between the Allies and the Japanese forces,
Lieutenant Billy Boyle receives an odd assignment: heβs sent
by the powerful Kennedy family to investigate a murder in
which PT skipper (and future president) Jack Kennedy has
been implicated. The victim is a native coastwatcher, an
allied intelligence operative, whom Kennedy discovered on
the island of Tulagi with his head bashed in. Thatβs
Kennedyβs story, anyhow.
Kennedy was recovering in the Navy hospital on the island
after the sinking of his PT-109 motor torpedo boat. The
military hasnβt decided yet whether to make him a hero for
surviving the attack, or have him court-martialed for losing
the boat, and the last thing the Kennedy clan wants is a
murder charge hanging over his head. Billy knows firsthand
that he shouldnβt trust Jack: the man is a charmer, a
womanizer, and, when it suits his needs, a liar. But would
he kill someone in cold blood? And if so, why? The first
murder is followed by two more, and to find the killer,
Billy must sort through a tangled, shifting web of motives
and identities, even as combat rages all around him.
