The Patient is Dying is a new book adapted from an unpublished manuscript entitled When They Kill a President, that was originally written in 1971 by a former decorated Dallas County Deputy Sheriff named Roger Dean Craig. This book documents his eyewitness account of President John F. Kennedy's assassination, and his investigation in Dealey Plaza after it occurred, as well as the massive cover up that followed in the days, months, and years after it happened. Among the many events that Deputy Craig witnessed in Dealey Plaza on that day were: Lee Harvey Oswald (or an impostor) running from the Texas School Book Depository minutes after the assassination, and enter the passenger seat of a waiting Rambler station wagon, that was parked on Elm Street in front of the school book depository building.

After years of intimidation, and numerous attempts made on his life to silence him, Craig was eventually found shot to death himself on May 15, 1975. The Dallas County Coroner ruled it to be a suicide, but after doing extensive research of my own, and conducting numerous interviews with people who knew him, I concluded that suicide was a very unlikely scenario in this case, and that murder was a far more likely explanation for how he died, after closely examining all of the circumstances behind his tragic death. Roger Dean Craig, who was named "Officer of the Year" in 1960 for outstanding performance in the line of duty, paid the ultimate price for trying to tell the truth about what he witn
