In The Camelot Assassin, Andrew T. McDonald presents an alternate reality in which Robert F. Kennedy becomes president of the United States.
Kennedy is saved from assassination by a courageous but deeply troubled journalist, Wex Hannon, who, despite her admiration for the president, is swept up in a deep state plot to remove RFK from office.
After Kennedy refuses to bomb Cambodia and escalate the Vietnam War, a congressional investigation threatens to reveal the sordid details behind his late brother's personal life. When Kennedy steps in to preserve JFK's legacy, he faces the prospect of impeachment and a disgraceful end to his own presidency.
As Robert Kennedy unravels the mystery behind the assassination of JFK, he is stalked by Richard Tavi, a CIA killer tasked with silencing the president before the dark truth can be revealed to the American people.
Tavi has always followed his orders, whether it's terminating a would-be dictator overseas or eliminating organized crime figures in the United States. But as a man haunted by a past mission to murder a Hollywood starlet, Tavi faces a critical decision: will he obey a directive to assassinate Kennedy, or join the president's secret effort to end the war?
Believing that Tavi is going to assassinate President Kennedy, Hannon is wracked with self-doubt, uncertain if she can trust her perception of reality or if she is merely falling victim to her own mental illness. It's up to Hannon to overcome her crushing self-doubt to save the country from another national tragedy.
