Libra

LIBRA is a fictional speculation on one of modern history’s central events: the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The anti-hero is Lee Harvey Oswald, who is as hauntingly real in the book as he was elusive in reality. Here he is joining the Marines, defecting to Russia, and imagining himself as an agent of history. That is until two disgruntled CIA operatives decide that an unsuccessful attempt on JFK’s life, one that can be linked to Castro, is the only way to put Cuba back into geopolitical play – and that Oswald would be the perfect instrument for their plan. Oswald’s sign was Libra, the scales, and how he tilts them will determine whether Dallas will be just a political trip or the focus of exploded American dreams.
