About this ebook
Odd-job boy Jack Leroyson, he just don’t get it.
They’re saying his screen-goddess employer’s just gone and died from a drug overdose.
So how come no one’s mentioning the early morning visits of all those White House staff?
How come no one’s quite sure when she died?
Rogue CIA agent Brad Friedberg tells Jack straight; sometimes you’ve just gotta accept lies as the truth.
But Jack, he just don’t get it.
About The Caught
In the real world, the novel The Catcher in the Rye has been found in the possession of a number of surprisingly naive yet amazingly successful assassins – could it contain a code that inspires otherwise vulnerable people to kill?
In early 60s Hollywood, odd-job boy Jack Leroyson is caught up in the intrigues surrounding Marilyn Monroe’s supposed suicide and the treacherously murky web of the White House, Kennedys, CIA and mafia – leading him to a strained friendship with Lee Harvey Oswald and his girlfriend Marina and, ultimately, a grassy knoll in Dallas.

While working in London as, first, an advertising Creative Director (the title in the U.S. is wildly different; the role involves both creating and overseeing all the creative work in an agency, meaning you’re second only to the Chairman/President) and then a screenwriter for Hollywood and TV, I moved out to an incredibly ancient house in the countryside.On the day we moved out, my then three-year-old daughter (my son was yet to be born) was entranced by the new house, but also upset that we had left behind all that was familiar to her.So, very quickly, my wife Julie and I laid out rugs and comfortable chairs around the huge fireplace so that it looked and felt more like our London home. We then left my daughter quietly reading a book while we went to the kitchen to prepare something to eat.Around fifteen minutes later, my daughter came into the kitchen, saying that she felt much better now ‘after talking to the boy’.‘Boy?’ we asked. ‘What boy?’‘The little boy; he’s been talking to me on the sofa while you were in here.’We rushed into the room, looking around.There wasn’t any boy there of course.‘There isn’t any little boy here,’ we said.‘Of course,’ my daughter replied. ‘He told me he wasn’t alive anymore. He lived here a long time ago.’A child’s wild imagination?Well, that’s what we thought at the time; but there were other strange things, other strange presences (but not really frightening ones) that happened over the years that made me think otherwise.And so I began to write the kind of stories that, well, are just a little unbelievable.
