520 "A nation shattered by its president's murder Two diaries
that reveal the true scope of an American conspiracy A
detective determined to bring the truth to light, no
matter what it costs him From award-winning journalist
Timothy L. O'Brien comes a gripping historical thriller
that poses a provocative question: What if the plot to
assassinate President Lincoln was wider and more sinister
than we ever imagined? In late spring of 1865, as
America mourns the death of its leader, Washington, D.C.,
police detective Temple McFadden makes a startling
discovery. Strapped to the body of a dead man at the B&O
Railroad station are two diaries, two documents that
together reveal the true depth of the Lincoln conspiracy.
Securing the diaries will put Temple's life in jeopardy--
and will endanger the fragile peace of a nation still torn
by war. Temple's quest to bring the conspirators to
justice takes him on a perilous journey through the gaslit
streets of the Civil War-era capital, into bawdy houses
and back alleys where ruthless enemies await him in every
shadowed corner. Aided by an underground network of
friends--and by his wife, Fiona, a nurse who possesses a
formidable arsenal of medicinal potions--Temple must stay
one step ahead of Lafayette Baker, head of the Union
Army's spy service. Along the way, he'll run from or rely
on Edwin Stanton, Lincoln's fearsome secretary of war; the
legendary Scottish spymaster Allan Pinkerton; abolitionist
Sojourner Truth; the photographer Alexander Gardner; and
many others. Bristling with twists and building to a
climax that will leave readers gasping, The Lincoln
Conspiracy offers a riveting new account of what truly
motivated the assassination of one of America's most
beloved presidents--and who participated in the plot to
derail the train of liberty that Lincoln set in motion"--

Lincoln and one that he learns was penned by John Wilkes
Booth. Together, these documents reveal the true depth and
reach of the conspiracy behind the assassination"--
