"Skeletons in the Closet: Family Secrets" unearths the hidden history of my great-uncle, Guy Banister—a former FBI agent and WWII spy under the infamous J. Edgar Hoover, with ties to legendary names like Bonnie and Clyde, John Dillinger, and Eddie Bentz. But his own legacy would take a darker turn when he became entangled in one of the most controversial conspiracies of the 20th century: the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
