November 3, 1963: President Kennedy vanishes from the White House. Nineteen days later, Lee Harvey Oswald would make history in Dallas.
The connection? That's what they don't want you to know.
Read this alternative history thriller where FBI Agent Lacie Webb is assigned to a case that should not exist. Every file is classified. Every witness is silenced. Every lead brings her closer to forces willing to erase a president to protect their secrets.
With just hours before the parade in Dallas, Lacie must expose the truth or let history repeat itself.
A fast‑paced political thriller, The Missing President is perfect for fans of Tom Clancy, Robert Harris, and the book (or Netflix Series) 11/22/63, and others where power decides what the world is allowed to remember.
Awful. Awful. Awful! So much repetition. In one chapter a bad guy says the exact same thing twice within a couple of paragraphs. I guess it was supposed to be the same story told from two different points of view, but that wasn't clear. The constant repetition was. The main character had things "falling into place" so early on it was laughable. They were constantly "falling into place" (or some other expression) throughout the book. Everybody, and I mean everybody, is a bad guy here. It was totally absurd. I wouldn't be surprised if the author is sued for libel based on some of the things said/done by actual, real people.
I liked this book. I always love a good conspiracy theory. I was 9 years old when the actual event took place and remember the events vividly. I have grown up with all the theories and questions. As an adult now, I have not believed Oswald acted alone. This was a good "what if" story. I liked Lacie Webb and would like to read the other Lacie stories.
This was an interesting telling of a tragic moment in American history. Younger readers will most likely be surprised at the ending. I was a child of 10 at the time. I remember it all like it happened yesterday. Future generations will learn the buried truths. The truths we knew deep down.
Conspiracy aficionados rejoice! This reimagining of the JFK assassination may induce whiplash in the reader as they follow the many plot twists and turns. In addition to all the usual . suspects, Bobby and even Jackie Kennedy play major roles. The unexpected ending that brings it all together is definitely thought-provoking. Very well done, indeed!
Robert J Perreault has done it again with another Lacie Webb Thriller! I loved the historical aspects of the book with a new twist that had me on my toes until the very end. Definitely a “flashlight under the covers” staying up late kind of book that you won’t want to put down!
Good storyline, I enjoyed reading it but there is a few pages at the end of a few chapters that the paragraphs are repeated. Other than that it really hooks you into the plot. Nice take on this and a surprising ending.
Fascinating take on the assassination of President Kennedy. Although an unlikely scenario, it does make me think that it entirely plausible given the secretive agencies and power fights
