A provocative book assessing New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison's investigation of the Kennedy assassination and the larger-than-life characters it unearthed. Paris Flammonde was a nonfiction writer and songwriter who published a number of books on UFOs and produced the hit paranormal-themed radio show of Long John Nebel, the Art Bell of his day. Flammonde also appeared on the CBS show "What's My Line?" alongside regular panelist Dorothy Kilgallen, a journalist who shared his skepticism of the Warren Commission and its findings, and then met an untimely end after interviewing Jack Ruby.
