Synopsis
A Cold War thriller by the author of Mafia Summer follows Chicago mobster Dante Amato through the winding conspiracy that led to JFK’s assassination. When Fidel Castro takes control of Cuba in 1959, a nest of new troubles arise for the American government—and for the mob. The CIA can’t allow a Communist ally of Russia to exist just off the shore of Florida. And the mob can’t lose its profitable Havana casino operations. Allied against a common enemy, an intricate plot draws government agencies together with Mafia dons and anti-Castro Cuban exiles. At the center of it all is Dante Amato of the Chicago Outfit, a war hero turned playboy mobster with a brother in the CIA. As attempts on Castro fail and resentment builds between the factions, Amato watches the target change from the Prime Minister of Communist Cuba to the President of the United States. With the Cuba plot bungled and Bobby Kennedy chasing down the mob like never before, Chicago boss Sam Giancana sees the entire Kennedy Administration as one no-good snake in the grass. And the only way to kill a snake is to cut off its head.
