Shifting the focus away from the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, to 48 hours prior in Eunice, Louisiana, this book explores the prediction made by Melba Marcades, aka Rose Cherami, that the president would be assassinated on Friday, November 22, 1963 in Dallas. Discounting clairvoyance, the book investigates the possibility that Rose had inside information about the assassination. However, Rose Cherami was not a credible witness: she was a prostitute, a one-time performer in Jack Ruby's Carousel Club, an admitted drug trafficker, a drug addict, and a car thief. But the author's research reveals glaring omissions in her FBI files, questionable admissions regarding her criminal history, and the dubious details of her untimely demise. This book sheds new light on a relatively unknown footnote of the JFK conspiracy theory.

Having known a little about Rose Cherami and her foreknowledge of the JFK assassination, it was interesting to read about her background and very hard life. I did wonder how she gained access so readily in a 'sleepy little La. town' and everywhere she went, back in the 50's and 60's. I guess she knew the right or rather, the wrong people.
The story itself was sometimes hard to follow as the author's writing style is unusual, jumping from one topic to another. If you believe in a conspiracy then this is a book for you. If you don't, you may find it's too hard to follow and too hard too swallow.
In any event, a sad and sordid story about a mysterious woman who knew more than was good for her.
