It¹s 1960, the height of the Cold War, but for Dante Amato of the Chicago Mob, life is anything but cold. Charismatic and movie-star handsome, Dante has settled comfortably into his role as The Outfit¹s man in Hollywood and Vegas. Dante¹s older brother, Aldo, a CIA agent, couldn¹t be more disapproving of his brother¹s life. Yet when Dante is ordered to meet with a beautiful Cuban go-between named Marissa del Valle, and then mob boss Sam Giancana summons him to Miami to discuss a U.S. Government commission to hit the Cuban dictator, Dante¹s first call is to his brother.

Is it a set-up? Or a chance for the mob to restart the flow of gambling and drug money from Havana? And what about Bobby Kennedy¹s war against The Mob? ³Bobby Kennedy is a snake,² says Jimmy Hoffa to Santo Trafficante. And how do you kill a snake? You cut off its head. ³ As this spellbinding thriller by E. Duke Vincent unfolds, a gripping story emerges, masterfully connecting the dots between the Kennedys, Castro, The Mob, the CIA . . . and the Grassy Knoll.
