A. John Laine's A Kiss for the President is a bada-bing, electrifying novel set in the 1950s during the rule of Castro. Mob boss Sal Morano wants to oust Castro to rebuild the now defunct casinos in Havana, Cuba. Millions were invested by the mob before Castro's rule and Sal doesn't like that-the new government has his funds and that's even worse. How can he get the funds back, recoup his losses and reopen the casinos? Morano learns that the CIA is plotting to invade Cuba and restore American property, but they need lots of green to do it and it's got to be from an unofficial source so that their operation stays covert. Enter Sal and his buddies who finance not only the invasion, but also the election of a handsome young senator, John F. Kennedy. But when Kennedy fails to get rid of Castro, Sal takes it personal and starts to plan the biggest ousting of all time, the assassination of the President, with a little help from his friends. From Cuba to New York to Hollywood and Dallas, Laine takes the reader on a whirlwind of a ride with an absorbing plotline that moves seamlessly to the upper echelons of dirty politics to mafia's hard-core tactics. Author Bio: A. John Laine is a writer and active military. Mr. Laine is married and has served in the U.S. Army for over 34 years and wrote A Kiss for the President during three tours in Iraq. He lives in California.
