Publisher's Synopsis
On a quiet October afternoon in 1964, Mary Pinchot Meyer-a Washington socialite, artist, and former lover of President John F. Kennedy-was shot dead on the Georgetown towpath. Her murder was never solved. Her diary vanished. And the truth was buried beneath layers of silence, suspicion, and shadowy power.
In this immersive true crime investigation, Shadows on the Towpath reopens the cold case that has haunted America for decades. Was Mary the victim of a random act of violence-or silenced because she knew too much?
Follow the threads that connect Mary to the White House, the CIA, LSD experiments, and the darkest secrets of the Cold War era. Through courtroom drama, lost evidence, and a diary guarded by spymaster James Jesus Angleton, this book brings readers inside a web of lies, politics, and unresolved truths.
Perfect for fans of The Devil in the White City, American Spy, or Conspiracyland, this book combines meticulous research, powerful storytelling, and a fresh lens on one of the most chilling unsolved murders in U.S. history.
Was it conspiracy or coincidence?
Justice or cover-up?
Step into the shadows-and decide for yourself.
