Summary:
Baker knew David Ferrie personally and worked with him in a covert project in New Orleans during the summer of 1963. She examines his strange and puzzling behavior both before and after the assassination. A New Orleans resident who was acquainted with some of the most notorious names linked to the assassination, Ferrie's odd lifestyle was embellished with an equally bizarre appearance. This is the first book focused solely on David Ferrie and his alleged involvement in the conspiracy to assassinate President John F. Kennedy.
