Synopsis

President Timothy Kegan has been assassinated - shot dead in a motorcade. A presidential commission condemns a lone psychopath as the killer and America settles down to mourn its dead. But fourteen years later, the confession of a dying man rouses Tim's half brother, Nick, to reassess the story behind his brother's death. Soon he is drawn into a murky underworld of oil kings, mobsters and starlets on the make, where nothing is what it seems. And as paranoia takes hold, Nick must follow a trail that leads into the black heart of a very American dream...

Book Overview: THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE has just been released as a major film starring Denzil Washington 'Mr Condon has many virtues as a story-teller; his plot moves swiftly, snaking its way through double-cross and treble cross; his prose is admirably taut and sardonic' Sunday Times 'This ribald, savage satire on the death of kings may be blacker and sicker than life itself but it is certainly a great deal funnier... It's a brilliant send-up of the cover-up world, as though a set of Damon Runyon characters had joined the Bolshoi Ballet' Guardian.
