AlbakiReads Editorial

A fictional Dallas investigation built around JFK-era witness deaths

Set in the aftermath of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, this fact-based crime novel uses fictional Dallas detective Brett Grimes to investigate a series of suspicious deaths among people connected to the case. The publisher frames the narrative as a police procedural told in flashback after Congressman Hale Boggs’s plane disappears over Alaska. Grimes’s inquiry brings together named historical figures and witnesses, including associates of Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby, while a covert figure known as Mitchell links the book’s murder investigation to wider suspicions around the assassination. The book presents real people and locations alongside its invented detective and investigative plot, placing documented JFK-era personalities within a fictional crime framework.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in JFK-assassination literature and its surrounding witnesses
  • Fans of historical true-crime fiction structured as a police investigation
  • Readers curious about Dallas, Washington, and the political aftermath of the assassination

Book overview

Something is terribly amiss in the city of Dallas, Texas in the aftermath of the JFK assassination. Witnesses are systematically dying suspicious deaths in mysterious circumstances. Necks are being broken. Witnesses are murdered. A serial killer could be the culprit responsible. Brett Grimes, a detective for the Dallas Police Department, is assigned by police chief, Jesse E. Curry, to investigate these crimes. Grimes is a no-nonsense, old-school cop who believes in the rule of law, and he's determined to track down and bring the killer, or killers, to justice. Told in flashback after a plane carrying Congressman Hale Boggs mysteriously disappears over Alaska, Detective Grimes is your guide to meeting these real-life witnesses and personally experiencing their fates: Betty Mooney, hung to death in her jail cell; Warren Reynolds, shot in the head; Edwin Walker, right-wing general; reporter Jim Koethe, karate-chopped in his bath; George Senator, Jack Ruby's roommate; George de Mohrenschildt, Oswald's benefactor; Yaeko Okui, beautiful Japanese Oswald acquaintance; Mary Pinchot Meyer, the JFK mistress who knew too much. Numerous others, some you've never heard of before. And a covert assassin code-named Mitchell. All-real, except for Grimes himself, meticulously researched and detailed, you will meet the actual witnesses in their actual homes or offices like you've never met them before, hear them speak in their own words, visit their actual locales and settings. Told in the format of a police procedural, with a climactic confrontation with CIA spooks in Washington, D.C., JFK: LOOSE ENDS is the truest of fact-based True Crime fiction and one of the most remarkable and intriguing books related to the JFK assassination you will ever read anyplace.
