September 1964. Beatlemania sweeps the nation, the Vietnam War looms, and the Warren Commission prepares to blame JFK's death on a "lone-nut" assassin. But as the post-Camelot era begins, a suspicious outbreak of suicides, accidental deaths, and outright murders decimates assassination witnesses. When Nathan Heller and his son are nearly run down on a Chicago street, the PI wonders if he himself might be a loose end. Then a faked suicide takes Heller to Texas, where celebrity columnist Flo Kilgore implores him to explore the list of dead.
