Who Bought the Bullets

A professor of Constitutional Law at Georgetown University, Patrick Henry, enlists ten of his students in a project to solve a fifty-seven year-old crime: who killed John F. Kennedy. In order to solve the mystery, they must break into the National Archives Building and steal the remaining files on the assassination. The U.S. Senate Oversight Committee has called for the last of the files on the Kennedy assassination. The CIA must get those files before they fall into the hands of the Senate. If they can't, then the crimes committed by the agency, both before, during and after the assassination, will come to light. Lives will be ruined beyond repair. People will go to prison, jobs and careers up in smoke. And so the CIA's motivation in getting those files could not be any higher. Patrick and his students are being sought by the people they robbed of a half million dollars. That money needed to pay for the tunnel diggers to get into the National Archives Building. What they thought to be a low risk crime turned out to be a business owned by the local Mafia. With the help of four Mexicans - who had dug hundred-foot long tunnels under the U.S. / Mexican border - Patrick and his team of students dig their way into the National Archives and come away with the files, only minutes before the CIA enters the building. Yet things quickly degrade from theft to murder. Patrick is forced to kill to protect their identity and their plan, then continue murdering in order to remain free. This while Washington Star Daily reporters Colin North and Annie Adelson with the Washington Daily News, are investigating a series of recent murders which seems to filter back to a small group of men inside the CIA, led by Deputy Director Sam Michelson. With the help of police Inspector, Sean Cassidy, and rogue FBI agent, Kevin McDonald, Colin and Annie close in on the group who in turn closes in on him. One man, Colin North, rises to the challenge: protect the Constitution and the rule of law, even if it means risking his life. The other, Professor Patrick Henry, degrades from a man who teaches the law to breaking the law and rationalizing acts of murder. The small group inside the CIA now knows of Colin North's intention to reveal all the CIA secrets - extra-judicial killings, coups d' etad, regime change and torture - in a special edition of the Washington Daily News. If that happens, Sam Michelson and his aides will be tried for treason and a list of crimes too long to enumerate. Patrick and his students sift through the stolen material and, with help from a man who was in Dealey Plaza on November 22nd, 1963, finally learn who killed Kennedy. But will they be able to turn the files over to the newspapers before they are found. The mystery solved, Patrick goes to the Washington Daily News to present the evidence. However, one block from those offices, Patrick is shot and killed. A man following Patrick, with the hands of a magician, picks up the files without missing a beat and leaves a handgun and a note making it clear that Patrick was despondent and committed suicide. The secret is safe once again.
