Synopsis
What if paradise played a part in the greatest mystery of the 20th century?
In How Key West Killed JFK, bestselling author David L. Sloan peels back the sun-bleached layers of the Florida Keys to reveal a hidden web of spies, mobsters, and Cuban exiles who shaped the course of history.
For the casual reader or Key West visitor, it’s a fascinating, fast-paced true story that turns familiar streets and landmarks into scenes of intrigue. From waterfront bars to quiet backstreets, Sloan exposes how America’s southernmost island became a hotbed of secret operations during the Cold War, where Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby, and Cuban agents may have crossed paths long before Dallas.
For serious JFK researchers, Sloan delivers groundbreaking revelations about Gilberto Policarpo López, the mysterious Cuban-American the CIA quietly flagged as a possible second gunman. Drawing from newly declassified files, eyewitness accounts, and never-before-published photos, How Key West Killed JFK uncovers a trail of evidence that official history ignored.
Whether you’re lounging on a beach or deep in the archives, this book will change how you see both Key West and the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
