Go-Between（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　A faded newspaperman downs a double Maker’s Mark and
contemplates life as a “ham-and-egger,” a hack. Then one day he
finds the scoop of a lifetime in a Chicago basement: diaries
belonging to the infamous Judith Campbell Exner. Right, that Judy,
the game girl who waltzed into the midst of America’s most powerful
politicians, entertainers, and criminals as they conspired to rule
America.
　　When Frank Sinatra flew Judy to Hawaii for a weekend of partying,
she could hardly have imagined where it would lead her: straight to
the White House and the waiting arms of Jack Kennedy. And then came
the day that JFK and his brother Bobby asked her to carry a black
bag to Chicago, where she was to hand it off to the boss of bosses,
Sam Giancana. As our Narrator pieces the notebooks into a coherent
story, he finds mob connections, rigged primaries, assassination
plots, and trysts—and begins to see beyond the tabloid fare to a
real woman, adrift and defenseless in a dangerous world where the
fates of nations are at stake. As one by one the men Judy loved
betrayed her and disappeared, and as the FBI pursued her into a
living hell, her diary entries disintegrate along with the
beautiful, tough, sweet woman the Narrator has come to know. Who
was Exner, after all? Just a gangster’s moll? Or a bighearted woman
who believed the sky-high promises of the New Frontier—and paid the
price?
