Kennedy's Avenger: Assassination, Conspiracy, and the Forgotten Trial of Jack Ruby

Dan Abrams

Rave

A book that takes readers into the heart of Ruby's trial, Kennedy's Avenger is a gripping narrative that picks up the moment Ruby killed Oswald and then methodically unpacks everything that followed. From the lawyers who took the case and the long, tedious process of jury selection to the courtroom antics and the testimonies of every witness, Abrams and Fisher vividly bring Jack Ruby's trial to the page with superb attention to detail and while constantly offering historical and cultural context.

Thurston Clarke,
The Washington Post
Throughout the book they repeatedly refute their own subtitle...But put aside this thematic jujitsu and what remains is an engrossing, lively and expertly crafted courtroom drama filled with colorful characters and having significant resonance for the present.

Abrams and Fisher take a fresh, detailed look at Jack Ruby and his trial.

A disappointing rehash of the case against nightclub owner Jack Ruby for the killing of JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.

Abrams, chief legal analyst for ABC News, and journalist Fisher team up for their latest investigation, this time focused on the trial of Ruby, accused of killing JFK assassin Oswald.
