Behold a Pale Horse — Franklin Allen Leib

Two men were in Texas the day Kennedy was shot. One was Rupert Justice Tolliver, a poor preacher who boasted that one day he would be president. The other was Cobra, a Rhodesian assassin who, forty years later, will be hired to take President Tolliver's life. In between is the story of the millennium about how a man came to power by urging the people of America to take up arms in a Holy War and the variable that Cobra wasn't counting on: Clarissa, the beautiful and ruthless First Lady. A woman who plays both sides of the conflict, and if she has her way, the next millennium will be one of demagoguery, mayhem, and bloodshed.
