This is a black comedy novel that delves into the assassination of a U.S. president. The story begins with President Timothy Kegan already assassinated in Philadelphia. Years later, Kegan's half-brother, Nick, witnesses a death-bed confession from a man claiming to have been part of the assassination plot. As Nick tries to uncover the truth, he encounters various groups and individuals who might have been involved in the conspiracy, including a hostess, lobbyist, and fixer named Lola Camonte.

The novel explores themes of political corruption, organized crime, and conspiracy theories, with a twist ending that implicates a complex system of interrelated interests. The book was later adapted into a film in 1979, starring Jeff Bridges and John Huston.
