A Lie Too Big to Fail is a groundbreaking investigation into the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, based on newly released police files and government records.

Author Lisa Pease, a longtime researcher of both the JFK and RFK cases, presents compelling evidence that the official account—centering on Sirhan Sirhan as the lone assassin—fails to withstand scrutiny. Through exhaustive primary source research, Pease shows how the Los Angeles Police Department suppressed or destroyed evidence, ignored key witness testimony, and constructed a narrative that avoided signs of a broader conspiracy.

The book reveals how the trial of Sirhan Sirhan avoided pursuing critical leads, and how the justice system and press failed to present the public with a full accounting of the facts. Pease draws connections between the RFK case and other political assassinations of the era, raising serious questions about the ability of government institutions to investigate crimes involving their own power structures.

Rather than speculate, Pease relies on meticulous documentation—including LAPD files she personally reviewed on microfilm—to demonstrate that Robert F. Kennedy was viewed by some as a political threat whose rise to the presidency had to be stopped.
