THE GIRL WHO SHOT JFK

Beautiful, seductive, deadly…Pilar Rivera is forced into a life of kill or be killed. She has incredible good looks and knows how to use them as she stalks and shoots the man who raped her in Havana when she was 16 – and becomes entwined in the crime of the ages. Rumored to be Ernest Hemingway’s Cuban daughter, Pilar is a female Jason Bourne, a woman without a country, loyal only to herself, who will kill for money but charges nothing for revenge. It’s an amazing tale of sex, murder and intrigue, set in the turbulent times of the Cold War, as it moves from Cuba to Russia, New York to Paris, Miami to New Orleans then on to Dallas that notorious day in November. The story swirls around two larger-than-life figures of the 20th century – John F. Kennedy and Fidel Castro – along with a parade of iconic personalities:   Jackie and Bobby, Marilyn and Sinatra, Che and Raul, Oswald and Ruby, the rat pack, the mob, the CIA and Hemingway. It’s a fast-paced thriller, as told by Jack Ruby, the last man standing, the only person involved who’s still alive – except for the girl who shot JFK.

THE GIRL WHO CAME CALLING

It’s the Cold War. Fidel Castro is clinging to power in Cuba as the CIA, the Mafia and counter-revolutionaries try to take him out. His gorgeous go-to girl assassin, Pilar Rivera, is all that stands between him and the graveyard. The Cuban Missile Crisis is winding down and Russia removes their nuclear missiles. Or do they? Rogue Russian agents help Fidel Castro smuggle nuclear warheads into the US. Now, five ticking nuclear timebombs are just waiting to be detonated whenever Castro feels the need. While famed columnist Dorothy Kilgallen is investigating the JFK assassination, she uncovers the story. It’s up to Pilar to keep her from telling it, even as she’s coping with Che Guevara in Cuba, Lucky Luciano in Italy, Elvis Presley in New York, Marilyn Monroe in Lake Tahoe, and Jackie Kennedy in the Mediterranean. It’s a sweeping tale of sex, intrigue, murder and madness involving the most iconic figures of the 20th century, as told by Jack Ruby, the last man standing — right next to the girl who came calling.

THE GIRL WITH SOMETHING TO HIDE

Pilar Rivera has more skeletons in her closet than Jack the Ripper: JFK’s assassination, the hit on mob boss Lucky Luciano, the murder of news reporter Dorothy Kilgallen and more. Pilar knows Bobby Kennedy had Marilyn Monroe murdered because she has Marilyn’s diary and all its dirty secrets about the Kennedys and their dealings with Frank Sinatra and the Mafia, not to mention their clandestine deal with the Russians. Pilar’s entire existence has become a deadly game of hide and seek. It only gets worse after she steals a bag full of JFK’s bribe money from defense contractors, a suitcase full of LBJ’s dirty money from Billy Sol Estes, and one of Fidel Castro’s nuclear timebombs he smuggled into the U.S. In between, she helps pull off the biggest jewel heist in New York City history. But the mother of all secrets is the Raphael masterpiece she took from Lucky Luciano and is now hiding on a secret island while it’s being copied by master art forger Elmyr de Hory in a plot to bilk Aristotle Onassis out of millions. Now, Pilar is “it.” Everybody and his dog is looking for her. The CIA, the FBI, the KGB, the Mob, the Vatican, the Cubans, the Kennedys, and Onassis all want what she’s hiding, and then they want her dead. Her only way out: Get them before they get her.

Roxie Castro has it all. She’s young, beautiful, smart, and rich. She’s also genetically inclined to kill. With a blood-thirsty tyrant for a father – Fidel Castro – and a cold-blooded assassin for a grandmother – Pilar Rivera – Roxie has murder in her blood. And it all comes out in the summer of ‘88 when she goes on a killing spree from New York to Florida. Her victims aren’t innocent, law-abiding citizens. Her victims are all guilty as sin: Mafia crime families, serial rapists and killers, loan sharks, and assorted hooligans and thugs who get caught in the crossfire. She takes on the worst of the worst and comes out on top. Along the way, she discovers something about herself. She’s even worse than they are.
