Collection: Assassinations

Every now and then, one man with a grudge and a gun changes the course of history in exactly the direction the people in power needed it to go.

The lone gunman. The manifesto. The convenient mental health history. The motive that requires no further investigation. It is the cleanest narrative in politics — a single disturbed individual, acting alone, whose actions just happen to eliminate the one person standing in the way of an agenda that powerful people had been pushing for years.

The evidence that doesn't fit, gets sealed indefinitely. The witnesses die in improbable clusters. The second shooter, the grassy knoll, the angle of entry, the pristine bullet — these details get litigated for decades in the margins while the official story holds the center. And the world moves on in exactly the direction it was always going to move.

This is the collection for everyone who has noticed that the right people keep dying at exactly the right time.
