Good book, mix of a good James Bond spy tale with some Sherlock Holmes. In this alternate reality, John F Kennedy tours Europe on the brink of World War II as a spy for President Roosevelt.
There's a lot of good action. Even though it's fictional, the book prides an excellent look into the private life of the Kennedys, particularly JFK as a college student and how he gained a passion for politics.
There are a few memorable characters, including Willi Dobler, Grubbins and Diana, that are great additions for a spy thriller.
One thing that I think is cool is that most spy stories take place in the Cold War or during World War II, but this story takes place in the preceding months of the war, as the war loomed imminent. It is cool to see the world's reactions to the war's beginnings- fear, indifference and subversive action.
