This genre-defying novel weaves together crime, action and US history with a liberal dash of wry humour. Categorised as an ‘alt history noir detective novel’, the book’s writing is lively in style and tone – highly evocative of 1960s America.
Readers will recognise famous figures such as James (Jimmy) Dean, Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley as they are cast into a tale that reimagines the circumstances of John F Kennedy’s assassination. Best mates Jimmy and Elvis unwittingly find themselves in the centre of the action as lovable stooges in a somewhat elaborate scheme to kill the President.
Jimmy Dean’s Last Dance is fast-paced, consistently engaging and vastly entertaining for anyone who loves to lose themselves in a great story. It’s especially likely to delight readers who enjoy a good conspiracy theory!
