Publication day

THE KENNEDY CONNECTION is out today! It’s about a discredited newspaper reporter who tries to jump start his career by finding out the truth about the greatest unsolved murder of all time – the JFK assassination. Kirkus called it “an engrossing thriller…a terrific story.” The New York Post named it as a “must read book.” Best selling mystery author Jan Burke praised it as a “thought provoking thriller….loaded with tension and filled with unexpected twists and turns. I loved The Kennedy Connection!” And Jimmy Breslin said: “Belsky has the news man’s gift. He tells his story well.” –

Available right now at bookstores and online everywhere…

Radio interview on WVOX in Westchester

Just did an hour long radio interview for the Peter Moses show on WVOX, 1460 AM, in Westchester County. Talked about The Kennedy Connection and also a lot about the tabloid newspaper business. Peter was a reporter at the Post in the 80s when I was city editor of the NY Post. It was a wild and crazy and wonderful time, and Peter somehow managed to remember the one time he said I yelled at him. (for not answering a pager promptly). Really enjoyed doing the interview.
