When Martin Luther King Jr. watched the JFK assassination on the news, he predicted he would meet the same end. His prophesy came true in 1968. Although a lone gunman was arrested and convicted, rumors of a wider conspiracy continue to ripple. Investigative reporter Pate McMichael spent years reading FBI files to research Klandestine. McMichael casts doubt on the various conspiracy theories that have circulated, asserting that they are traceable to the machinations of Look magazine’s William Bradford Huie for turning rumor into lucrative publishing deals and film rights. Klandestine shows James Earl Ray, a hateful bigot, as the lone gunman who received help in the aftermath from a prominent Ku Klux Klan lawyer, Arthur J. Hanes, who wanted his share of fortunes to be made by peddling conspiracy theories.
