Peter Schechter & Tom Gabbay

America spends billions of dollars a year fighting the drug trade, but still tons of drugs are smuggled into the country every day. Now debut novelist Peter Schechter imagines, what if those highly skilled drug smugglers from Colombia were recruited by one of America's enemies to smuggle something far more dangerous into the U.S.? We'll talk with him about his new book Point of Entry in a few minutes. But first .. a plot to assassinate the President is hardly a new idea, in fiction. But former network TV executive Tom Gabbay puts a unique spin on the concept in his debut thriller The Berlin Conspiracy. In his book, the year is 1963, the target of the assassination plot is John F. Kennedy, but the location is not Dallas. It's East Germany.
