Just as casting was set to begin, Haverstick received a mysterious warning from a government agent; soon she began to suspect that there was more to Jerries story than what met the eye. As she dug deeper, she discovered that Jerries life shadowed that of a mysterious CIA agent named June Cobb, whose espionage career traced an arc of intrigue from the jungles of South America to Fidel Castros Cuba, to the communist literary circles in Mexico Cityand ultimately into the dark heart of the Kennedy assassination in Dallas.Haversticks attempt to learn the truth directly from Jerrie would plunge her into a cat-and-mouse game that stretched across a decade, deep into a thicket of coded CIA files.
