Reads like an Elmore Leonard novel, only with more emotion and more depth. I was spellbound, in genuine suspense, the writing is so damned good” – Adam Fifield, author of A Mighty Purpose.
When five former college friends come together for an innocent weekend reunion in Oxford, city of their youth, they are not expecting much. But out of their forgotten idealisms and mid-life frustrations comes an outrageous idea. Suggested in the first instance as a joke, it is a joke that none of them can forget.
At a second get-together in New York, the five take their courage in their hands and agree on the ‘unthinkable’ plan.
Driving their conspiracy is the conventional and mild-mannered American physician Dr. Michael Lowell, and The Kennedy Moment is also the story of his love for one of his co-conspirators, the girl from Karachi who had rejected him twenty years earlier because he was ‘just a little bit too dull.’
Set in Oxford, New York, Washington and a remote location in West Africa, The Kennedy Moment is a different kind of thriller in which apparently ordinary people and global themes are brought together in a story of courage and suspense.
… the plot is a humdinger. In fact, the plot is so eye-popping that it couldn’t possibly work without insider expertise, which it has.
Betty Webb, Mystery Scene magazine
An exciting and fast-paced political thriller, The Kennedy Moment is an extraordinary novel. I was captivated from the start and found it hard to put it down until I’d reached the last page.
New Books
Adamson formerly worked as a United Nations senior adviser for 16 years, which put him at the heart of international affairs—and it shows. His persuasively page-turning political thriller is filled with richly drawn characters and authentic plotting. It’s superb.
Morning Star
Brilliant, moving, splendidly written, keeps you at the edge of your chair until the very last minute.
Saga Magazine
In lucid, persuasive prose Peter Adamson tells a truly gripping story about something profoundly important and relevant.
