White Ghost

<b>In the Pacific during WWII Billy Boyle must discover if skipper and future president Jack Kennedy is a cold-blooded killer</b>. <p/>1943: In the midst of the brutal hard-fought Solomon Islands campaign between the Allies and the Japanese forces Lieutenant Billy Boyle receives an odd assignment: he's sent by the powerful Kennedy family to investigate a murder in which PT skipper (and future president) Jack Kennedy has been implicated. The victim is a native coastwatcher an allied intelligence operative whom Kennedy discovered on the island of Tulagi with his head bashed in. That's Kennedy's story anyhow. <p/>Kennedy was recovering in the Navy hospital on the island after the sinking of his PT-109 motor torpedo boat. The military hasn't decided yet whether to make him a hero for surviving the attack or have him court-martialed for losing the boat and the last thing the Kennedy clan wants is a murder charge hanging over his head. Billy knows firsthand that he shouldn't trust Jack: the man is a charmer a womanizer and when it suits his needs a liar. But would he kill someone in cold blood? And if so why? The first murder is followed by two more and to find the killer Billy must sort through a tangled shifting web of motives and identities even as combat rages all around him.
