Former marine sniper Bob Lee Swagger investigates one of the most enduring controversies of our time—the JFK assassination—in this New York Times bestselling "terrific thriller" (Booklist, starred review).
It's not even a clue. It's a whisper, a trace, a ghost echo, drifting down through the decades via chance connections so fragile they could disintegrate in the puff of a breath. But it's enough to get legendary former Marine sniper Bob Lee Swagger interested in the events of November 22, 1963, and the third bullet that so decisively ended the life of John F. Kennedy.
Swagger begins his slow stalk through a much-traveled landscape. But he's asking questions that few have asked before: Why did the third bullet explode? Why did Lee Harvey Oswald risk it all by returning to his rooming house to secure a pistol he easily could have brought with him? How could a conspiracy that went unpenetrated for fifty years have been thrown together in the two and a half days between the announcement of the President's route and the assassination itself?
Crossing through the thickets of history andbuilding to an explosive climax, The Third Bullet finally proves what Bob Lee Swagger has always known: it's never too late for justice.
