Shiva’s Messenger starts in 1963 Dallas but the view of the Kennedy Assassination is not the same as history shows.  The novel shows another assassin as the second shooter on the grassy knoll.  The novel plot then jumps to today where the Kennedy assassin has raised and trained a son.  Great novel plot and a fantastic twist on the Kennedy assassination.  Here is a segment from Shiva’s Messenger by Russell Twyce:

Quickly and smoothly, movements drilled to muscle memory, Jeff pulled his Mannlicher-Carcano assassination firearm from its cradle under his jacket.  The assassin knew the reasons or at least he believed he did.  ‘I couldn’t be better prepared for this action.’  Pulling the rifle butt into his shoulder, the assassin canted his head over the weapon to bring his eye directly behind the gun sight.

His index knuckle tensed on the trigger.  He was aware even of the knurl ridges, like a course fingerprint in the meta

l.  With a steady eye and finely tuned hand coordination, Jeff the assassin tracked a bead on President Kennedy’s forehead.

But Kennedy isn’t the only president in this assassination novel’s plot line crosshairs. A current president is the assassination target for a next-generation assassin.
