"November 1960. Against the odds a 43 year old Roman Catholic has beaten Richard Nixon in the presidential race and John F. Kennedy will be the first new President of the decade. It is an uneasy time. The Cold War is close to boiling over, the Soviet Union is matching America in the arms race and has beaten her into space. Anti-communist fever is rampant and paranoia about Castro's Cuba is running high.
For the Mafia, keen to free up their operations in the Caribbean, Castro presents a different sort of problem but a real one nevertheless; so they employ Tom Jefferson, America's most efficient assassin, to kill him. But Jefferson has his own agenda, his own target, much closer to home. If he succeeds he will change history. And now only the mob can stop him."
