Six young people who had worked for the Ken-

nedy administration in 1963, but all in minor jobs,

receive a death threat ten years later for reasons

they "will fully understand." Why them? They

hadn t even known the President.

Then one night Congressman Thomas Medwick

is killed. His car veers out of control, and the police

rule it an accident. But George Williams, one of

those named on the list, knows better. As a Deputy

Assistant Attorney General for the Justice Depart-

ment, and its most skilled investigator, he takes the

threat seriously indeed. He had loved the young

President, had shared the excitement and mission

Kennedy had inspired in America during the Six-

ties; for Jack Kennedy, Williams would have sacri-

riced anything. But he never thought it would have

to include his life.
