A Field Guide to Armageddon Gary Alexander

We know what happened in Dallas
on November 22, 1963.
Well, perhaps not the whole story.

The JFK assassination was heartbreaking for most, but to a few, a financial disaster. It didn't go as they had planned. Lee Harvey Oswald and their own hired killer ruined everything. WWIII
didn't start. As a result, for-profit Armageddon didn't occur, costing them 10 tons of gold.
Hit-man Jonathon Smith, aka Fred Miller, set up to take the fall as a Soviet assassin, instead took a powder and vanished, retiring as a killer-for-hire to begin a new life with his young family.
Fifty-six years later, Smith collapses in the alley behind their home, succumbing to old age. So everyone except his 82-year-old widow believes. She proves differently, that he had been poisoned, which forces her to tell all to her two adult children, a secret she has kept since 1963.
The 10 tons of gold--now worth $300,000,000+--remain in
a Swiss bank, there for the taking. Descendants of those chasing it in 1963 are after it too, with a bloodthirsty resolve. Billions killed in a nuclear holocaust? No problem. It's merely the cost of doing business.
All that stands in their way is Betty Smith and her 50-something kids, Judith and Theodore.
