“Frank Sinatra, Robert Kennedy, and Charlie Marder—you can’t lose with this combination of characters in The Devil May Dance. Jake Tapper explores the thin lines between politics, pop culture, and crime, and the story is always gripping, accurate, and right on target when it comes to underlining that the past is prologue and politics are always played for keeps.”

—Michael Connelly

“Sinatra is the most intriguing and fully developed of the book’s famous characters, but Tapper deftly sketches all of them…Rich in research, packed with pop culture and historical detail. The book is set six decades ago, but neither politics nor show business has changed as much as we might hope. Tapper connects the dots, but he does it with a light hand that doesn’t slow down the Marders’ adventures.”

—Colette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times

“One helluva mystery—bursting with early ’60s luminarios from Bobby Kennedy to Frank Sinatra and his swinging gang. Tapper effortlessly blends a journalist’s sharp eye with a storyteller’s keen sense of suspense: The result is as bracing as the bourbon the book’s Rat Packers knock back and as fizzy as the champagne the Hollywood stars swig. Raise a glass.”

—Gillian Flynn

“Hugely entertaining…a thoroughly involving story, and Tapper is clearly having a great time re-creating Tinseltown in the Swinging Sixties.”

—David Pitt, Booklist
