The Most Dangerous Men: Dallas

The 1960s begin with a campaign. Senator Elias Vance, the Iron Lieutenant, is no longer waiting to be drafted into power. He runs hard for the presidential nomination and builds a real campaign, against a rising young senator named Kennedy.

Behind the speeches, Julian Hayes and Susan Sutherland carry on their dangerous love affair while Julian works inside the CIA. A secret war is being prepared on the beaches of Cuba, and Vietnam is quietly growing, one committee cable at a time. Then the Bay of Pigs puts the whole machine to the test, and men who trusted their government pay for it.

All of this leads to a day in November 1963 in Dallas, and to the question that has never been fully answered: what really happened, and who knew?

Dallas is political suspense in the Jeffrey Archer tradition, with short chapters, relentless pacing and cliffhangers that make it hard to stop.
