Three Seconds in Dallas

By: Scott L Buttrick

What if JFK survived Dallas?

November 22, 1963. The presidential motorcade moves through Dealey Plaza. Shots ring out from multiple directions-a professional, coordinated assassination attempt on President John F. Kennedy.

Secret Service Agent Clint Hill hears the first shot and runs toward the limousine. Three seconds. In actual history, Kennedy died. In this history, Hill is three seconds faster. Kennedy survives.

And everything changes.

For the first time, the Dallas conspiracy isn't buried. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy-the President's brother-takes control of the investigation. What he discovers shakes the foundation of American democracy:

Ballistic evidence proving at least three shooters in coordinated positionsFinancial records showing $50,000 moved two days before DallasMalcolm Wallace, a convicted killer with ties to Vice President Lyndon Johnson, confessed to organizing the operationA money trail leading directly to LBJ's accountsA motive: Johnson facing prison for corruption, needing Kennedy dead to seize power

Now RFK faces an impossible task: prosecute a sitting Vice President for attempted murder and treason. Build a case strong enough to convict. And survive the powerful forces that will do anything-including murder-to protect their secrets.

Based on extensively researched forensic evidence and historical conspiracy theories, Three Seconds in Dallas explores what accountability might have looked like if the JFK assassination had been investigated honestly and prosecuted thoroughly.

From the chaos of Dealey Plaza to the courtroom drama of United States v. Lyndon Baines Johnson, from the 1964 campaign to the ongoing threats against the Kennedy family, this alternate history thriller asks vital questions about power, corruption, and justice that remain urgently relevant today.
