Every week another fascinating author talking about the most shocking and infamous killers in true crime history.

True murder, with your host journalist and author Dan Zupanski.

Good evening. John F. Kennedy's life is promoted by sentimental mythmakers as pure legend,

but a sinister shadow lies across his life. JFK's death was such a shocking event that the vivid memory of his assassination still

blinds us to much of what went before. It is almost always seen through the prism of that single

terrible day in Dallas obscuring the dark corners of his life and government.

For JFK, power was sound by his life and government.

For JFK, power with sound bites over policy, the White House, a fairy tale castle, and the

President a hyper-sexualized movie star.

As with Hollywood, the willing suspension of belief was required.

Reality imposes no such limits. Drawing on essential new material,

Reckless shatters the secrets and lies with a revelatory true life

thriller focusing on RFK and Robert F. Kennedy both before and after they

bought the White House. All the usual suspects from FBI Titan J. Edgar Hoover and billionaire Howard Hughes to CIA rogue agents

and mob Hittman appear in a narrative which sweeps from wartime London to the salons of Washington, from the bedrooms

of Hollywood to the torture chambers and jungles of Central America, and on to revolutionary Cuba and the tragic bloody political

carousel of Vietnam. The book that we're featuring this evening is reckless,

sex, lies, and JFK, with my special guest investigative

journalist and author Douglas Thompson. Good evening and welcome to the program and thank you very much for this interview, Douglas

Thompson.
