AFTER DALLAS
NOVEMBER 22, 1963
Within an hour of landing in Washington—as the body of President John F. Kennedy was being removed from Air Force One—Lyndon Johnson receives a call from Nikita Khrushchev. The Soviet Premier makes an incendiary disclosure about the assassination. He also warns the new president that the fate of millions will hinge on what they choose to do next.
For the second time in just over a year, the leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union find themselves grappling with the very real prospect of nuclear war. But this time, their decisions will remain a mystery to future generations—closely guarded secrets.
Secrets known only to two men.
Until now…
AFTER DALLAS is the gripping story of those two men, the secrets they held, the people they cared about, and the cascading consequences of their actions. It is a tale of power, concealment, and the fragile threads that hold the world together.

"This book reels you in and doesn't let go until you're seduced by the compelling characters. Rivera moves past the well-trodden JFK conspiracy premise and gives us a glimpse into the intimate struggles of those caught in the wake of historical events. He offers us a front-row seat into a chess game of moral compromise and conflicting ambitions. A thought provoking debut novel – riveting and relevant."

Louis A. Rivera
Louis Rivera grew up in a rambunctious New York City household, surrounded by four sisters who ignited his love for books, The Beatles, Star Trek, and Sabrett Hot Dogs. His appreciation for social commentary blossomed at an early age thanks to the insights of Kurt Vonnegut, Don DeLillo, Philip K. Dick, and George Orwell.
He studied media and politics at the University of Maryland, sparking a lifelong interest in how media influences our civic dialogue—a tenacious endeavor in a world where cat videos, conspiracy theorists, and thoughtful political commentary share the same digital stage.
Pursuing an unconventional career path, Louis dabbled in concert promotion and artist management before embarking on a successful career in media advertising—encompassing roles at legendary Boston radio stations WBCN and WFNX, as well as Viacom/CBS, NESN, and NBCUniversal. In 2022, he put away the corporate suit and tie to focus on writing.
Proud father of two accomplished young women who inspire him to live joyfully every day. When not crafting stories or unraveling historical paradoxes, he can occasionally be found wielding a Fender Stratocaster at local blues jams in the Boston area. On special occasions, you might spot him at a Sabrett Hot Dog stand in Manhattan, extolling the virtues of the perfect blend of mustard and sauerkraut to the uninitiated.
