An excellent description of a wicked Dallas on the day President John F. Kennedy was killed. Day presents a persuasive account of circumstances surrounding the murders of Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald and presents supporting evidence for the 4 rifle shots. Its a convincing story recanted from interviews of perhaps the most talented exotic dancer that ever lived. A long time best friend to Jack Ruby, Juanita Dale Slusher, Alias Candy Barr, took Dallas by storm before she was 18. With information gained from Candy before she died, Day describes the organizational structure of the Lansky Mafia with amazing clarity. Her connections with Las Vegas as a headliner and her torrid love affair with Lansky’s West Coast mob boss gave her great insight into the inner workings of the mob. Great reading if you’re interested in what really happened in Dallas that December day in 1964.
