Bill Eaton’s dying grandmother drops a bombshell when he comes to visit, though he doesn’t realize until later the significance of the old files she asks him to retrieve from her attic and review.
The files include an old photo of President John F. Kennedy with a man named Bill Simpson, a photo of Eaton’s much younger grandmother, and several journals written by Simpson titled ’The White House, ’ ’The Assassination, ’ ’Prison, ’ and ’Reuther.’
Eaton’s grandmother dies before the two can discuss the material. But, fascinated by the mysterious information his grandmother called ’unique and historical, ’ Eaton begins to read, hoping to find the meaning of his grandmother’s dying wish.
Simpson’s journals turn out to be memoirs of the former Secret Service agent, detailing a heretofore unrevealed web of conspiracy, political assassinations, and redemption.
Author Bob Morris employs his expertise in politics, the auto industry, and all things Detroit to fashion this historical fiction thriller that will keep readers guessing the whole way through.

About the Author
Om författaren
Lifelong Michigander Bob Morris has spent his entire career involved in public service. He was a middle school teacher in the Detroit Public Schools before moving to Lansing in 1976 to work for the Michigan House of Representatives. For the next 38 years, he represented public institutions to the state legislature in the pursuit of setting good public policy for Michigan. He also worked for Gov. James Blanchard and the Michigan departments of transportation and education. During his time with the state, Bob fought for greater funding of Michigan’s transportation infrastructure and tougher high school graduation standards, and promoted strong labor policies. In the 1990s, he was Assistant County Executive to County Executive Edward Mc Namara, where he was a key player in establishing the Wayne County Airport Authority Act. Bob ended his career as a policy advisor to the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments. He is retired and lives in Farmington Hills, Michigan, with his wife, Terry. He grew up in southeastern Michigan during the 1950s and 1960s at the knees of some of the greatest labor and political leaders in the state. He graduated from Birmingham Seaholm High School and earned a teaching degree and Masters in Public Administration degree from Western Michigan University. Bob wrote the nonfiction book, Built in Detroit: A story of the UAW, a Company and a Gangster, which was published in 2013. For more about Bob and that book, check out www.builtindetroit.net.
