Cover Story

Autor Ronnie Cohen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 aug 2023
Cover Story: Still Deadly after All These Years is centered around journalist Joan Ross whose obsession with Jack Ruby puts herself and everyone in her circle in mortal danger. The publishing world is struggling. Joan's beloved magazine, Relevant, has been losing subscribers and newsstand readers, and hemorrhaging cash-she is in jeopardy of losing everything. An investment firm throws her a lifeline, but she must also accept their aggressive fixer to make Relevant snappier, sexier, and less dependent on "think pieces"-basically her entire life's work. Into this maelstrom arrive two young screenwriters who need her help-they are stuck creating a fully realized and unique mob character that's not reminiscent of Joe Pesci in . . . "Well, like, in everything," one tells her. Joan suggests they model their character on the real-life Jack Ruby and they jump at her offer. She, too, is thrilled she can finally put her decades of research to some good. As she continue to dig through Ruby's past, she finds evidence that threatens to expose everything fictional in the Warren Report. But there are forces that still won't have that story told even now, and Joan has opened a pandora's box of death and destruction that she cannot bolt closed.

Notă biografică

In 2008, I awoke thinking the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of JFK was fast approaching and we (or I) still didn't know what happened back then. The real story. In particular, how did Jack Ruby walk into a Dallas police station and shoot Lee Harvey Oswald in front of everyone? Who was he? And what was that murder really about?It ignited something in me that turned into a burning desire to learn the truth and expose it. I am a writer and so I started digging into the extensive-and sometimes conflicting-research on that period and spent several years piecing it together. Then I picked up a pen.The result was an off-Broadway play titled "Witnessed by the World," which I wrote with my good friend and co-writer Jane Beale, and a few years after that (and nearly three hundred pageslater) this book, "Cover Story: Still Deadly after All These Years."If you enjoyed what you've read, you may also enjoy the next book in the series, "Blood in the Street." That story tells the tale of Sirhan Sirhan, now-dubbed America's first Arab terrorist, and a small, committed legal team's effort to get him released from prison. Was he really just a disgruntled Palestinian who took out his frustration on the likely next president of America? Or was the murder of Robert Kennedy a necessary step by the forces that brought down his brother? Think about it: How could they allow Bobby to ascend to office when he swore he'd get to the bottom of JFK's murder?
