Publisher's Synopsis
Summoned to St. Joseph's Hospital in Chicago, a dying man whispers his confession to Father O'Malley revealing the secret of who shot the Kennedys and Martin Luther King. Father O'Malley believes he has been chosen to bring to justice those responsible for their assassinations. But how is he to do this without breaking his vows for the sanctity of the confessional?
Shortly after leaving St. Joseph's, the brakes of the priest's car fail and he narrowly escapes death. He enlists the help of FBI agent Mike LaGuardia - who immediately ends up saving the priest's life again, this time from an assassin's bullet. Together with Mike and two intrepid Viet Nam vets, Father O'Malley embarks on his mission to unlock and expose the riddle of the King and Kennedy assassinations.
Meanwhile, Chicago mob boss Vincenzo Gato and CIA operative Lawrence Cain - tied together as far back as the Shadow Wars and the Bay of Pigs invasion -- are gathering forces to thwart Father O'Malley and his protectors.
The Mission is a fast paced thriller that explores the violence and assassinations of the sixties through the eyes of those who lived through the social upheaval of that turbulent era.
