When a 300-page novel about the Bay of Pigs disaster and JFK's assassination starts with a three-page list of names, you know name-dropping is more important than character development. Dante Amato represents the Mob, his brother Aldo the CIA, and Dante's love interest Marissa del Valle the exiled Cubans whose unholy friendship blasted America into the turbulent 1960s. This meticulous fictional history by TV producer (Beverly Hills, 90210) and author (The Strip) Vincent focuses on the details and misses the impact of Kennedy's assassination. Recommend only to conspiracy buffs.
