John F. Kennedy begint in de vrieskou van januari 1961 aan zijn presidentschap. In de verstarde wereld van de Koude Oorlog brengt hij nieuw en ongekend elan; Jackie, zijn ravissante vrouw, verandert het Witte Huis in een sprookjespaleis. Door schade en schande leert JFK wat het is om president te zijn, en onderweg treft hij formidabele vijanden in Nikita Chroestjov, Fidel Castro en Allen Dulles, de directeur van de CIA. Ook de georganiseerde misdaad lijkt op zijn val en die van zijn broer Robert uit te zijn. In november 1963 doet een ontevreden, jonge nietsnut in Dallas wat hun niet lukte. Met een paar schoten maakt hij een einde aan de Kennedy-droom. In Killing Kennedy vertellen Bill O’Reilly en Martin Dugard het schokkende relaas van de pracht van Kennedy’s Witte Huis en de vuile was in de kelder, van zijn successen en faliekante misslagen, en van de ware toedracht rond de moord op de 35e president van de Verenigde Staten.

The Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller (October 2018) Confronting Nazi evil is the subject of the next installment in the mega-bestselling Killing series As the true horrors of the Third Reich began to be exposed immediately after World War II, the Nazi war criminals who committed genocide went on the run. A few were swiftly caught, including the notorious SS leader, Heinrich Himmler. Others, however, evaded capture through a sophisticated Nazi organization designed to hide them. Among those war criminals were Josef Mengele, the “Angel of Death” who performed hideous medical experiments at Auschwitz; Martin Bormann, Hitler’s brutal personal secretary; Klaus Barbie, the cruel "Butcher of Lyon"; and perhaps the most awful Nazi of all: Adolf Eichmann. Killing the SS is the epic saga of the espionage and daring waged by self-styled "Nazi hunters." This determined and disparate group included a French husband and wife team, an American lawyer who served in the army on D-Day, a German prosecutor who had signed an oath to the Nazi Party, Israeli Mossad agents, and a death camp survivor. Over decades, these men and women scoured the world, tracking down the SS fugitives and bringing them to justice, which often meant death. Written in the fast-paced style of the Killing series, Killing the SS will educate and stun the reader. The final chapter is truly shocking.
