On November 24, 1963, Jack Ruby walked into the basement of Dallas Police Headquarters and shot Lee Harvey Oswald once in the abdomen. Afterward he told investigators, “I did it to show that Jews have guts.”
The Last Words of Jack Ruby is a historical noir about Jack Ruby, his lifelong friend the boxer and war hero Barney Ross (who happens to be my cousin), and the price of American myth.
Coming this November from Tortoise Books.
