This sophomore novel describes a fictional attempt on Bobby Kennedy's life in 1968, as seen through the eyes of a young newspaper reporter surrounded by a Klansman, people with ties to the mob and CIA and a father who sets off car bombs for the Teamsters -- all of whom set off plans and rumors of an assassination.

"Counting Kennedys" is currently available at www.unlimitedpublishing.com/leonard.
