"The Fourth K was a [commercial] failure -- but it was my most ambitious book." --Mario Puzo

The Fourth K ©1990 by Mario Puzo Orig. Published by Random House, Inc. Book dedicated to the Puzo Children: Anthony, Dorothy, Eugene, Virginia, and Joseph BUY THIS BOOK

A new Kennedy has been elected president. A man who has inherited all the good looks, wealth, and youthful idealism of his famous uncles. He is Francis Xavier Kennedy -- and suddenly the old dream of Camelot once again seems possible.

But the energetic new president is also haunted by the darker side of the Kennedy legacy -- a legacy of tragedy even the best intentions may be powerless to avert.

Now the horrifying assassination of a great world leader and kidnapping of the president's daughter by terrorists have launched President Kennedy on a desperate course that could end in disaster -- unless he is stopped.
