But I suppose something worse could happen. For instance, a
car might try to run Heller and his son down, and damn near succeed at ridding
the world of the feisty P.I. once and for all. But Heller’s son is too quick
for the driver, and succeeds at getting his dad out of harm’s way. But Nate
Heller got a look at the driver, and he’s pretty sure he recognizes him. It’s
somebody that he dealt with almost a year ago, a Cuban who was connected with
the plot to assassinate John F. Kennedy… in Chicago. The plot, described in
detail in 2012’s Target Lancer, was
ultimately foiled, but didn’t do much good: Kennedy met his death in Dallas a
few weeks later, and the supposed assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was killed two
days later by Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby.
