Echoes of Distant Shadows

Hard bitten Dallas Homicide cop Davis McCoy, while investigating the murder of a high-profile businessman, is summoned to Parkland Hospital and listens with skepticism to a dying old man’s tall tale. The old man claims to have been an acquaintance of Lee Harvey Oswald, then goes on to confess that he was an operative with the KGB, that he was present at the JFK assassination nearly 25 years prior, and that he had been targeted by a KGB agent. McCoy has heard it all before…or at least, so it seemed.

When routine follow up inquiry explodes into a tale of murder and international intrigue, McCoy and his team are dragged through a series of improbable and unsavory suspects—where no one or nothing is as it seems—to a conclusion which exposes an entirely new aspect to the entire JFK tragedy.
